Using The Concert Debugger

Julian Dolby

The Concert Debugger is part of the Illinois Concert Project[2]. It works with the runtime system to provide help in debugging Concurrent Aggregates (CA) programs. This document assumes that you are familiar with CA and the Concert System, as described in Concurrent Aggregates Language Report 2.0, The Concert System: Efficient Compiler and Runtime Support for Efficient Execution of Fine-grained Concurrent Object-oriented programs and The Concert Tutorial[8][7][1][6][4][3][5][2].
