Abstract

AbstractThe traditional use of abstract machine models is to provide a conceptual framework for software design and to aid portability and machine independence. Access to the abstract machine model from the higher‐level system on which it is based provides a powerful tool for software development. This paper describes a technique in which the higher‐level system is interfaced to the underlying abstract machine, thus allowing use of the higher‐level system to analyse and debug its own implementation. The application of this technique in the implementation of SL5 is given as an example. Experience with the use of the facility and a discussion of basic design considerations are included.
