An external debugging system for weapon system programs written in a higher level language
J.A. Gaines · 2005
The operational software for the TRIDENT Fire Control System is written in a procedure-oriented block-structured high level language. To facilitate checkout of this software at the source language level, the TRIDENT On-Line Aid in Debugging Compiler Level (TOADC) System was developed. The system is external, residing in a PDP 11/05 minicomputer, which is connected to the Fire Control Computer by special adapters. It is command-driven, providing both interactive and batch operation. The interface between TOADC and the subject operational program is a file of information, known as the Schema, which provides a mapping of the listed form of the program to the corresponding executable form.
