I have a Scheme system, Scheme->C. I've currently implemented a more
"user-friendly", pascalish (much simpler) language on top of this system
by translating the user friendly language to scheme. Now, I need to build
a debugger for this. I figure that since I'm generating the code, I should
be able to make it easy for my debugger to debug. I've seen one reference
on this "Debugging Standard ML Without Reverse Engineering". Anybody have
any ideas/references on how to do this? The generated code doesn't have
to be blazingly fast, I'm just looking for a simple solution to support
source level debugging, breakpoints, and variable tracing.
