Step 3: Open Qilin's main class file

Step 4: Modify the run configuration

Let us assume that you want to debug xalan (from DaCapo2018) under a specific context-insensitive pointer analysis. So you will provide the following arguments in the configuration dialog:

-pae
-pe
-clinit=ONFLY
-lcs
-mh
-pta=insens
-apppath
/home/hedj/Work/QiLinOfficial/artifact/benchmarks/dacapo2018/xalan.jar
-libpath
/home/hedj/Work/QiLinOfficial/artifact/benchmarks/dacapo2018/xalan-deps/
-reflectionlog
/home/hedj/Work/QiLinOfficial/artifact/benchmarks/dacapo2018/xalan-refl.log
-jre=/home/hedj/Work/QiLinOfficial/artifact/benchmarks/JREs/jre1.8.0_312/

The configuration dialog looks like this:

Step 5: Debugging

Now, everything is done. Let us debug the benchmark by checking the program state at line 49.

• Make a breakpoint on line 49.
• Click the Debug button on the right-top toolbar (or press Shift+F9)
