I am implementing control constructs in debugger subprograms and
debugger initialization files for an Ada compiler vendor for a new
debugger product.


I would like to be pointed to articles written or discuss efficiency
issues with anyone who has gone through this implementation.


Specifically, addressing loops and handling of "loop exiting" ( via an
exit when <condition> ) statement. How this is done depends on things
like whether or not a "pre-compile" or "construct malformation" pass
is implemented or doing this malformation detection "on the fly"
during interpretation/execution. How to "find" the "end loop" and make
sure it is the right "end loop" can then be implemented in differing
methods.


Without getting into too much of the nitty gritty, I am looking for
some contacts, thoughts, information on this topic.


Thanx
