Abstract
SMAPs are generated for use in debugging visual paradigms. A system can debug a non-Java source, or a visual paradigm, embedded inside another distinct paradigm. The system may include a visual object ordering system that determines an order number for each of a plurality of visual objects in the visual paradigm, and a mapping system that maps the order number of each visual object to a set of line numbers in the associated code output.
Claims37
A method of generating a source map (SMAP) from a visual paradigm that can be used along with an associated code output by a debugging tool to debug the visual paradigm, comprising:
- determining an order number for each of a plurality of visual objects in the visual paradigm;
- and
- mapping the order number of each visual object to a set of line numbers in the associated code output.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer usable storage medium for generating a source map (SMAP) from a visual paradigm, wherein the SMAP can be used along with an associated code output by a debugging tool to debug the visual paradigm, comprising:
- program code configured for determining an order number for each of a plurality of visual objects in the visual paradigm;
- and
- program code configured for mapping the order number of each visual object to a set of line numbers in the associated code output.
