Abstract

Debuggers are central tools in IDEs for inspecting and repairing software systems. However, they are often generic tools that operate on a low level of abstraction. Developers need to use simple breakpoint capabilities and interpret the raw data presented by the debugger. They are confronted with a large abstraction gap between application domain and debugger presentations. We propose an approach for debugging object-oriented programs, using expressive and flexible breakpoints that operate on sets of objects instead of a particular line of source code. This allows developers to adapt the debugger to their domain and work on a higher level of abstraction, which enables them to be more productive. We give an overview of the approach and demonstrate the idea with a simple use case, and we discuss how our approach differs from existing work.
使用声明式断点实现高效的以对象为中心的调试
调试器是ide中用于检查和修复软件系统的核心工具。然而,它们通常是在低抽象层次上操作的通用工具。开发人员需要使用简单的断点功能,并解释调试器提供的原始数据。他们面临着应用程序域和调试器表示之间巨大的抽象差距。我们提出了一种调试面向对象程序的方法,使用具有表现力和灵活性的断点来操作一组对象,而不是特定的源代码行。这允许开发人员将调试器调整到他们的领域,并在更高的抽象级别上工作,这使他们能够提高生产效率。我们概述了该方法,并用一个简单的用例演示了该思想,并讨论了我们的方法与现有工作的不同之处。
