[ide4edu-dev] Proposal for gsoc.
|
Hello everybody,
I have an idea that i want to implement for eclipse
or maybe specifically ide4edu. I wanted to know ur initial thoughts on
it, would it be feasible and if anybody is interested to mentor.
I
did my course on data structures using java previous semester and faced
this problem of not being able to find out what was really happening
using the existing debuggers. I really wished if there could be a way
to visually see linked data stuctures such as linked lists, trees and
graphs. A bit of research showed that there has been some work done on
this in the literature and there is an implemetation achieving
something similar for c/c++ namely ddd.
Since then i have been highly motivated to impement something like this
in eclipse. It would help visualize the state of the program and the
required data structures and could be very helpful for debugging and
learning purposes. It would also be helpful for some new to a codebase to gain more insight into the code. Unfortunately i haven't had much time to do it because of my semester work although i have been trying to make some progress each day. I
think the summers would be an ideal time to implement this.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
Regards.
Ishan
