Type debugger that is using logging infrastructure of the scala compiler to gather information and prefuse library for UI.
########################################################## THE SCALA TYPE DEBUGGER ########################################################## Work in progress on Scala Type Debugger using Prefuse for convenient UI.
Dependencies:
- latest scala with instrumenting support
- prefuse library
Both available in my repositories. You will also need sbt for convenient compiling of type debugger.
How to start (the hard way, from scratch):
- build scala with instrumenting support ('topic/events-instrumenting' branch), in all other steps we assume that $SCALA_INSTRUMENTING_HOME to its directory
- define local.properties with the following line: scala.instrumented.home=$SCALA_INSTRUMENTING_HOME/build/pack
- sbt pull-latest-prefuse-binary
- sbt compile 5.1) sbt run-type-debugger file1 file2 ... or 5.1a) export PATH=$SCALA_INSTRUMENTING_HOME/build/pack/bin:$PATH 5.1b) scala -cp resources/lib/prefuse-core-0.21-latest.jar:target/scala-2.11.0-SNAPSHOT/classes scala.typedebugger.TypeDebuggerUI resources/code/src/A.scala
or (use the latest snapshots)
Pull latest snaphots using
- sbt pull-latest-scala-binary
- sbt pull-latest-prefuse-binary
- sbt pull-latest-debugger-binary
This will put all the necessary jars (that are in sync) into resource/lib and you can just run it with
java -Xbootclasspath/a:resources/lib/scala-library-latest.jar:resources/lib/scala-compiler-latest.jar:resources/lib/scala-reflect-latest.jar scala.tools.nsc.MainGenericRunner -classpath resources/lib/prefuse-core-latest.jar:resources/lib/type-debugger-latest.jar scala.typedebugger.TypeDebuggerUI resources/code/src/paper/Example01.scala
