Abstract

In this paper we present the design and usage of a debugging framework for the Relational Meta-Language (RML), which is a language for writing executable Natural Semantics specifications. The language is successfully used at our department for writing large specifications for a range of languages like Java, Modelica, Pascal, MiniML etc. The RML system previously had no debugging facilities, which made it hard for programmers to debug their specifications. With this work we address these issues by providing a debugging framework for debugging high level Natural Semantics specifications in RML.
