High level language debugging with a compiler preliminary draft
Abstract
In this paper, we start from the basic premise of wanting an interactive high level language debugger, and we explore the possibilities of achieving this using a compiler. We outline the functional capabilities desired, and suggest means of achieving them using a compiler. Most of these entail requirements on the compiler, and our suggestions may be viewed as justification for modularizing compiler design.
