Estimated hours taken: 1.5 A few fixes for Morphine to make installation easier. extras/morphine/README: Point out that there is a tutorial on the Morphine web page, as otherwise it can be difficult to know what to do. extras/morphine/INSTALL-MORPHINE: Use ../../library as the default path for the Mercury library files, as this is the normal path if you checkout the CVS module. extras/morphine/source/make_scenario.pl: Fix a bug -- use redirection instead of the -i option to patch, as many systems don't support -i (e.g. taifun, a Solaris box).

* Morphine, a trace analysis system for Mercury
|
|
|
|
Program execution traces given by traditional debuggers provide programmers
|
|
with useful pieces of information. However, using them requires to analyse by
|
|
hand huge amounts of information. Morphine is connected to the traditional
|
|
tracer of Mercury; it allows execution trace analyses to be automated. It
|
|
provides a relational trace query language based on Prolog which enables users
|
|
to specify precisely what they want to see in the trace. Morphine, then,
|
|
automatically filters out information irrelevant for the users.
|
|
|
|
Morphine provides users a langage to write their own debugging primitives
|
|
(Prolog + 2 primitives connected to the Mercury trace system) and their own
|
|
monitors (see the `collect' command).
|

* Morphine installation
|
|
|
|
To install Morphine, you just need to:
|
|
|
|
1) Run the script `INSTALL-MORPHINE' (that creates the `morphine' script in
|
|
the `morphine/scripts/' directory).
|
|
2) Add directories ` morphine/scripts/' and `morphine/bin/' in your `PATH'
|
|
environment variable. Make sure that the executables `mmc' and `eclipse'
|
|
are also accessible from your `PATH'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that Morphine requires ECLiPSe, a Prolog system which is free to
|
|
universities and non-profit research institutions. You can download it at
|
|
`http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipse/'. Also make sure that the package
|
|
eclipse_misc.tgz has been downloaded (i.e. if there exists a directory named
|
|
`lib_pd' in the ECLiPSe installation directory); Morphine needs it.
|
|
|
|
Morphine does not require Mercury to be installed, but you might also want to
|
|
install it ;-)
|
|

|
|
|
|
* The current release of Morphine has been tested with the following
|
|
configurations:
|
|
|
|
o Architectures: sparc/Solaris2.[5,6,7] and i686/Linux kernel 2.0
|
|
o ECLiPSe 4.1 or later
|
|
o Mercury: later than 1999-15-10 release of the day, or version 0.9 or later.
