Help Debugging/Past Bugs

[Xiangqi Li]

Hi,

I am a student of Matthew Flatt, and my research focuses on techniques for debugging and how to improve the debugging experience. As part of my research, I need to study the isolation, debugging, and ultimate correction of some real bugs. As a result, if you have a program with a bug, I am writing to offer my assistance in debugging your problem in exchange for the ability to use your bug anonymously as part of my research and the eventual presentation of my work. I have a more urgent need to study the debugging process in larger programs, but I am interested in looking at bugs in both large and small programs.

In addition, if you can recall past bugs and the commit containing the uncorrected bug, I would like to look at your bug, too. If you are able to share the bug, send me the commit information, a description of the expected behavior of the program, and the actual, incorrect behavior.

Thank you,
