EIA-9974960Ramsey, NormanUniversity of VirginiaNext Generation Software: Active Debugging Information for Multi-Language, Multi-Platform DebuggingThis project is aimed at developing debuggers that work seamlessly with multiple platforms and multiple languages, and to which one can add support for new platforms and new languages at low cost.This proposal proposes a radical change from the way current compiler technology supports debugging. In essence the proposal proposes to develop active debuggers. Instead of simply giving some compiler-generated information about the program, allow the debugger to step through the code itself. The proposal has selected a set of operations that the debugger will perform to analyze the code, and such operations can be performed efficiently by invoking the compiler to provide implementation of the critical operations. Given this approach allows the debugger to support applications including multilanguage modules. Some preliminary demonstration of some of these ideas has been already done by the proposer with encouraging indications, as to the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methods.

EIA-9974960 Ramsey，Norman University of CordiniaNext Generation Software：Active Debugging Information for Multi-Language，Multi-Platform Debugging该项目旨在开发能够无缝地与多个平台和多个语言一起工作的调试器，并且可以以低成本添加对新平台和新语言的支持。从本质上讲，该提案建议开发主动调试器。 不要简单地给出一些编译器生成的关于程序的信息，而是允许调试器单步执行代码本身。 该提议选择了调试器将执行以分析代码的一组操作，并且可以通过调用编译器以提供关键操作的实现来有效地执行这些操作。 这种方法允许调试器支持包括多语言模块的应用程序。 提议者已经对其中一些想法进行了一些初步论证，并就所提议方法的有效性和效率提出了令人鼓舞的迹象。
