Lab 5: MetaProgramming and Debugging

Preparation

Read up on what metaprogramming is and the different debugging and profiling tools used in the lab:
  • Note that domain-specific languages can be considered a form of metaprogramming (generative programming). It was covered in a previous lab.
  • What is reflection? Have a look at Java or C# documentation.
  • You will use Julia in the labs for its metaprogramming capabilities (it has a lot of it).
  • Read the documentation on valgrind and especially its available debugging tools.
  • Read the documentation on GDB or one of its graphical debugger versions such as ddd.
