SYSTEMS SEMINAR - Friday, January 14, 1983.
Dr. Tom Cargill of Bell Laboratories will speak on "The Blit
Debugger".
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: M&C 5158
ABSTRACT
This talk describes the evolution to date of a flexible de-
bugger for C programs on the Blit, a multi-processing bitmap
terminal. The debugger is of interest for the following
reasons:
- it is assisted by the terminal software's elegant
separation of the debugger from its subject process.
- it resides autonomously in the terminal and is bound
dynamically to arbitrary subject processes.
- it executes asynchronously with its subject. its
implementation is distributed as a small process in
the terminal and a large process in the host
timesharing system.
- its user interface uses graphics and a mouse.
