✦ Synopsis

Static Program Slicing has gained wi& recognition in both academic and practical arenas. Several debugging tools have been developed that utilize static program slicing. Dynamic slicing has also gained considerable popukzrity in recent years. Due to the several advantages of dynamic slicing over static slicing, the objective of this work was to develop a debugging tool for C programs, called C-Debug, using dynamic slicing and dicing techniques. This paper reports the design considerations of C-Debug and the data structures used in the implementation of C-Debug. Based on the usage experiments with the C-Debug &bugging tool, limitations and possible future enhancements are also outlined.
