Open PhD position on debugging at Inria Lille
by Steven Costiou Feb. 8, 2024

Feb. 8, 2024

Hello, we have a PhD position opening at Lille, France. See all details here: https://recrutement.inria.fr/public/classic/fr/offres/2024-07154 Steven./ / /Summary of the research proposal:/ /### Application development inevitably introduces bugs. Often, it's not clear why a code change introduced a bug. To find this cause-and-effect relationship and debug more efficiently, developers can sometimes rely on the existence of a previous version of the code without the bug. Yet, traditional debugging tools are not designed for this kind of work, making it a tedious operation. In this thesis, we propose an approach that enables us to understand and to debug an application in a *live system*, such as Pharo or Python, by comparing two executions with different results: one execution succeeds and the other fails. Based on this hypothesis, we propose in this thesis to answer the following challenges: - How to detect divergence, i.e. different behavior between two executions of a program? - How can we reduce the cost in time, memory and energy consumption of detecting divergence(s) on long executions? - What are the criteria for deciding whether a divergence is normal or unauthorized? - What about detecting multiple divergences in the same program? - What abstractions are needed to compare two executions of a program and detect divergences? To meet these challenges, in addition to a precise state-of-the-art on debugging techniques, the PhD student will study concrete cases of program execution and propose a tool to be integrated into Pharo. /

UKSTUG Meeting - Pierre Misse-Chanabier: Polyphemus Take 2 - 31 January 2024
by Giovanni Corriga Jan. 26, 2024

Jan. 26, 2024

Pierre Misse-Chanabier will talk to us about Polyphemus ( https://github.com/hogoww/Polyphemus ) for the Pharo Virtual Machine. The presentation will focus on how to create Tooling on the Pharo Virtual Machine. (This does not require Virtual machine level knowledge). We will start by taking a look at a few existing tools. We will create one or two small tools, and see how they differ from tooling on the image side. Pierre Misse Chanabier is a recently graduated PhD with a focused interest on Virtual Machines, Code Generation, and Meta Programming. He worked on and contributed to many different levels and parts of the Pharo ecosystem. He is now working on how to leverage images for more than what they do now. He's currently working at Microdoc ( https://www.microdoc.com ) on the Graal VM. Born in south of France, he currently lives in Lille. This will be an online meeting from home. This is a repeat of last November's presentation that could not go ahead due to issues with our Zoom account. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/298169915/ ) to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!
