abstract = "The goal of this research project is to develop a
bidirectional program debugger with which one can move
as easily backwards as current debuggers move forward.
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.",
