Solution Overview

Problem

Debugging domain-specific language (DSL) tasks is inefficient due to the need for manual identification and interaction with module debuggers for different programming languages, leading to tedious processes, resource inefficiency, and potential errors from manual input handling.

Innovation Solution

A multi-level debugging system that identifies breakpoints in DSL tasks, automatically locates and interacts with module debuggers based on programming languages, transmitting and receiving debugging data to generate comprehensive multi-level debugging information, thereby streamlining the debugging process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual identification and interaction with module debuggers is used for DSL tasks, then debugging can be performed, but the process becomes tedious and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedebugging efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for debugging
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service debugging by automatically identifying module debuggers and managing debugging interactions without requiring manual developer intervention. The processing logic autonomously performs breakpoint identification, debugger location, and data transmission between debuggers, allowing the system to debug itself rather than requiring external manual assistance for each debugging operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing logic that acts as a mediator between the DSL task execution and multiple module debuggers. This intermediary component automatically manages the complex interactions between different debuggers, translating and coordinating debugging operations across multiple programming languages and debugger interfaces, thereby eliminating the need for manual coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A task may be executed using a domain specific language (DSL) debugger, the task including one or more modules. A module debugger associated with a module of the one or more modules of the task may be identified. Task debugging data associated with the execution of the task using the DSL debugger may be transmitted to the identified module debugger. Module debugging data may be received from the identified module debugger. Multi-level debugging data including the task debugging data and the received module debugging data may be generated.
