statement of intent

just starting and not quite sure, but here is the direction

Debugger

I don't want to use gdb anymore, and it would be easier without using the qemu setup, so:

  • single step debugging of the register machine level (as close to arm as need be)
  • visual transitions for steps
  • visualisation of data in registers (some kind of link to the object)
  • show the current instruction and a few around
  • show vm object (message etc)
  • show effect of register transitions on vm objects
  • visualize vm object content (again some links)

Space

  • Visualise the object space in some way
  • Visualise single object, bit like atoms
  • values immediate
  • objects as link
