| Abstract [en]: |
In circumstances when a variable in a program has an
incorrect value the process of debugging it is often a process about
discovering the history of that variable, or rather the ancestry of
the value that it contains. In this paper we propose a new technique
for debugging that revolves around being able to trace back through
the history of a particular variable or variables that it depends
upon. Our development is in the domain of functional programming as
the proposal has particular significance in this domain due to the
fact that so many standard debugging techniques cannot be used at all. |
