Identifying a source file for use in debugging compiled code

A system for identifying a source file for use in debugging compiled code, comprising:

• a computer readable memory, a processing unit communicatively coupled to the computer readable memory, a computer readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium that when executed by the processing unit execute the method comprising:
• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• referencing a compiled file of non human-readable form for debugging;
• searching for potential source files of the compiled file from configured repositories;
• obtaining the potential source files from the configured repositories;
• iterating over the obtained potential source files to compile and compare each potential source file to the compiled file;
• and
• identifying one or more matching source files for use in debugging the compiled file.

A computer program product for identifying a source file for use in debugging compiled code, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• reference a compiled file of non human-readable form for debugging;
• search for potential source files of the compiled file from configured repositories;
• obtain the potential source files from the configured repositories;
• iterate over the obtained potential source files to compile and compare each potential source file to the compiled file;
• and
• identify one or more matching source files for use in debugging the compiled file.
