We believe this will be a vastly more useful debugger. A programmer will be able to start at the manifestation of a bug and proceed backwards investigating how the program arrived at the incorrect state, rather than the current and often tedious practice of the user stepping and breakpointing monotonically forward and then being forced to start over from the beginning if they skip past a point of interest. Our experimental debugger has been implemented to work with C and C++ programs on Digital/Compaq Alpha based UNIX workstations.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, fjournal = "ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes", journal-URL = "https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=J728", }
