Debugging Constraint Programs
Constraint programming (CP) is in its substance non-algorithmic programming, not last because it is often being applied to problems for which no efficient algorithms exist. A not immediately obvious consequence of this fact is that debugging CP programs is principally different from debugging algorithmic programs, including imperative, functional or Prolog programs. It is also more difficult. M...
متن کاملCP-VIZ: An Open Source Visualization Platform for CP
Visualization is one of the best techniques for understanding the behaviour of constraint programs, allowing us to directly observe the impact of changes by visual inspection instead of using tedious debugging. So far, most constraint visualization tools have been closely linked to specific solvers, making it difficult to compare alternative solvers and to reuse development effort spent on othe...
متن کاملSoftware Tools for Developing Parallel Applications, Part 1: Code Development and Debugging
Developing an application for parallel computers can be a lengthy and frustrating process making it a perfect candidate for software tool support. Yet application programmers are often the last to hear about new tools emerging from R&D efforts. This paper provides an overview of two focuses of tool support: code development and debugging. Each is discussed in terms of the programmer needs addre...
متن کاملA Tracer Driver for Versatile Dynamic Analyses of Constraints Logic Programs
Programs with constraints are hard to debug. In this paper, we describe a general architecture to help develop new debugging tools for constraint programming. The possible tools are fed by a single general-purpose tracer. A tracer-driver is used to adapt the actual content of the trace, according to the needs of the tool. This enables the tools and the tracer to communicate in a clientserver sc...
متن کاملInteractive Program Debugging
The computer software industry is in a period of massive growth that shows no signs of diminishing as new markets are continuously identified and approached. Currently, the tools and techniques to aid in the development and debugging of software is extremely limited and has not kept pace with the needs of the software industry. Improvements have been made in the software design processes (throu...
