  • Debugging lazily evaluated program components
    Patent number: 8261240
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating debugging of a computer program is provided. Mechanisms of the present invention facilitate presenting information and enable a developer to interact with a lazily evaluated program component. A debugging system may display data associated with a lazily evaluated program component, and may enable the programmer to control evaluation and viewing of elements of the lazily evaluated program component. In response to a user command, a debugging system may evaluate elements of the program component and display associated data. A user interface enables a user to view, interact with, and debug lazily evaluated program components as well as a program containing such components.

  • Visualizer system and methods for debug environment
    Publication number: 20050246690
    Abstract: The present invention provides an extensible mechanism for displaying object data in a debug environment in a suitable display format. In one aspect, a system is provided for computerized debug environments. The system includes a display component that presents data at a debug interface, wherein the data is associated with a first representation in a debug object and as at least a second representation at the debug interface. A communications component transmits the data from the debug object to the display component and also transforms the data from the first representation to the second representation.
