| Abstract | We present a novel approach to the problem of dynamic program analysis: writing analysis code directly into the program source, but evaluating it against a recording of the original program’s execution. This approach allows developers to reason about their program in the familiar context of its actual source, and take full advantage of program semantics, data structures, and library functionality for understanding execution. It also gives them the advantage of hindsight, letting them easily analyze unexpected behavior after it has occurred. Our position is that writing offline analysis as retroactive aspects provides a unifying approach that developers will find natural and powerful. |
