Ham) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 13 Approved: compilers@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us I have a Scheme system, Scheme->C. I've currently implemented a more "user-friendly", pascalish (much simpler) language on top of this system by translating the user friendly language to scheme. Now, I need to build a debugger for this. I figure that since I'm generating the code, I should be able to make it easy for my debugger to debug. I've seen one reference on this "Debugging Standard ML Without Reverse Engineering". Anybody have any ideas/references on how to do this? The generated code doesn't have to be blazingly fast, I'm just looking for a simple solution to support source level debugging, breakpoints, and variable tracing.
