Debug Chain Generation for Source Code Repositories
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional source code repositories lack effective debug tools and methods, such as breakpoint placement and trace point pathing, which are essential for efficient software development and debugging, and do not incorporate or distribute debug chains.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method generates and distributes debug chains from resource-bound breakpoints, providing dynamic code flow by monitoring and classifying debug activities, scraping metrics, splitting them into breakpoints and contexts, and mapping similar breakpoints across repositories, using a graph neural network to recommend optimized breakpoint paths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional source code repositories are used without debug tools, then the system structure remains simple, but debugging efficiency and software development effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines source code repository functionality with debug chain generation and distribution capabilities into a unified system. The repository not only stores code but also automatically generates breakpoints, creates debug chains, and distributes them to tenants, merging version control and debugging tools into one integrated platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-generates debug chains and breakpoints based on historical debug activities and code analysis before they are needed. By analyzing code patterns and previous debugging sessions in advance, the system prepares optimized breakpoint configurations that are immediately available when tenants need them, eliminating the need for manual breakpoint setup.
2Loss of time
If manual breakpoint placement is used, then debugging control is precise, but time consumption and development workflow efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates and distributes debug chains without requiring manual intervention from tenants. The debug chain generation module analyzes code repositories, identifies relevant breakpoints, and distributes debug chains to tenants autonomously, making the debugging process self-service oriented and eliminating manual breakpoint placement efforts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback loops where debug activities from multiple tenants are collected, analyzed, and used to improve future debug chain generation. Historical debug data feeds back into the generation algorithm, allowing the system to learn from past debugging sessions and continuously improve breakpoint placement accuracy and relevance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If debug chains are not distributed across repositories, then system complexity remains low, but adaptability and versatility of debugging tools across different projects deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The debug chain generation system creates universal debug chains that can be applied across multiple repositories and projects. By analyzing common code patterns and debugging scenarios, the system generates debug chains that are adaptable to different codebases, allowing tenants to reuse debugging configurations across diverse projects rather than creating custom breakpoints for each repository.
