Abstract
A debugging system for FORTRAN and assembly language code on the Control Data 6600 includes a flexible and reasonably comprehensive set of tools for program tracing and checkout, suitable for both batch and on- line use. A large variety of traces and checks can be invoked through a special '%'debug language'%' syntactically similar to FORTRAN. AIDS, the All- purpose Interactive Debugging System, is a main program with three input files- the object code of the user's program, the listing generated by the compilation (or assembly) of the program, and a '%'debug file'%' containing the commands to AIDS for tracing and testing the user'srogram. All debugging information is supplied through a special debug language. The debug language is described in some detail, and a few of the techniques used in implementing AIDS are discussed.
