Stabdump—a dump interpreter program to assist debugging
Douglas R. McGregor, J. R. Malone · Software Practice and Experience · 1980
Abstract Program development can be greatly speeded by a dump analysis program which makes the state of a program more visible to the programmer. A single comprehensive analysis presenting as much of the relevant material in as concise a manner as possible has proved superior in use to the alternative of interactive analysis one item‐at‐a‐time. The methods adopted in the STAB utility to achieve comprehensive and concise output are described. The system and compiler modifications necessary to support this type of system are discussed.
