چکیده

Modern software systems are often built from existing library components. A common problem is how to fix bugs when source code is not available. Xept is an instrumentation language and tool that can be used to add to object code the ability to detect, mask, recover and propagate exceptions from library functions. This helps to alleviate or avoid a large class of errors resulting from function misuses. Examples will be given to show applications of Xept in actual software systems.

Dynamic Instrumentation of C++ Applications on IA-64

Dynamic instrumentation is the process of modifying a program’s binary instructions on the fly while the program executes. This technique is used in a wide variety of tools for performance analysis, profiling, coverage analysis, correctness checking, and testing. Instrumenting applications generated from C++ sources reveals new complications, mainly caused by the C++ exception handling mechanis...

As-if-serial exception handling semantics for Java futures

Exception handling enables programmers to specify the behavior of a program when an exceptional event occurs at runtime. Exception handling, thus, facilitates software fault tolerance and the production of reliable and robust software systems. With the recent emergence of multi-processor systems and parallel programming constructs, techniques are needed that provide exception handling support i...

Quality Time - Can Aspect-Oriented Programming Lead to More Reliable Software?

A spect-oriented programming is a novel topic in the software engineering and languages communities. AOP appears to have the potential to significantly improve the reliability of programs, particularly by modu-larizing error-handling policies and allowing for easier maintenance and better reuse. In this article we introduce AspectJ, the first aspect-oriented programming language, and demonstrat...
