INTERACTIVE MACHINE-LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING,

Abstract

An integrated system is described for writing and debugging programs in an interactive environment. It includes complete facilities for symbolic examination and modification of the binary program and data which can be used in conjunction with very powerful macro, conditional and string-handling features. Assembly is directly into core, at a speed of about 200 lines per second, so that relocatable binary is eliminated. During debugging, changes made in the binary program can be automatically incorporated into the symbolic. The system as a whole permits machine language programs to be written and debugged with much less effort than is called for by conventional techniques. (Author)
