We are happy to host Martin Vasilev.
Title: IDD – A Platform Enabling Differential Debugging
Abstract: Debugging is a very time consuming task which is not well supported by existing tools. The existing methods do not provide tools enabling optimal developers’ productivity when debugging regressions in complex systems. It is described in this presentation a possible solution aiding differential debugging. The differential debugging technique performs analysis of the regressed system and identifying the cause of the unexpected behavior by comparing to a previous version of the same system. The prototype, idd, inspects two versions of the executable – a baseline and a regressed version. The interactive debugging session runs side by side both executables and allows to examine and to compare various internal states. The architecture can work with multiple information sources comparing data from different tools. Also it will be shown how idd can detect performance regressions using information from third-party performance facilities.
Speaker: Martin Vassilev has research interest
in the area of the compiler construction and analysis of complex
software systems. He has obtained his PhD in 2020 in the
University of Plovdiv "Paisii Hilendarski" where he continued to
develop his academic career. He is now senior assistant professor
in the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics. He continues to
participate into the development of open source systems like IDD
and others.
Feel free to forward this email to everybody who might be
interested. This talk will be recorded.
