Modular Moose: A new generation software reverse engineering environment
Advanced reverse engineering tools are required to cope with the complexity
of software systems and the specific requirements of numerous different tasks
(re-architecturing, migration, evolution). Consequently, reverse engineering
tools should adapt to a wide range of situations. Yet, because they require a
large infrastructure investment, being able to reuse these tools is key. Moose
is a reverse engineering environment answering these requirements. While Moose
started as a research project 20 years ago, it is also used in industrial
projects, exposing itself to all these difficulties. In this paper we present
ModMoose, the new version of Moose. ModMoose revolves around a new meta-model,
modular and extensible; a new toolset of generic tools (query module,
visualization engine, ...); and an open architecture supporting the
synchronization and interaction of tools per task. With ModMoose, tool
developers can develop specific meta-models by reusing existing elementary
concepts, and dedicated reverse engineering tools that can interact with the
existing ones

Back-in-time inspectors: an implementation with Collectors
International audienceBack-in-time debugging is an appealing solution to investigate bugs for which there is no obvious relation between their symptoms and their origin. In this paper we implement a tool named the Back-in-time inspector for Pharo, which provides an execution history of evaluated expressions selected from the source code. We evaluate the back-in-time inspector by investigating an unresolved bug which we are able to solve using our tool
