This should be reflected in the design of debuggers for such languages to avoid burdening the programmer with operational details, e.g. concerning the actual evaluation order. Conventional debugging techniques tend to focus too much on operational aspects to be suitable in this context. A record of the execution that only captures the declarative aspects of the execution, leaving out operational details, would be a viable basis for debugging lazy functional programs. Various declarative debugging tools could then be developed on top of such records. In this paper we propose a structure which we call the Evaluation Dependence Tree (EDT) for this purpose, and we describe two different construction methods. Performance problems are discussed along with possible solutions, and some performance figures from experiments in a realistic context are given. }, NUMBER = {R-96-23}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, YEAR = {1996}, AUTHOR = {Nilsson, Henrik and Sparud, Jan}, EMAIL = {henni@ida.liu.se}, TITLE = { The Evaluation Dependence Tree: an Execution Record for Lazy Functional Debugging }
