Memory visualization of a Java program

[jcb]

Hello,

We have discussed about memory visualization. Here is a nice tool for memory visualization that could be a candidate for such a feature : https://bitbucket.org/fdagnat/javatutor
The tool was mostly developed by a student and is hosted under a colleague account. It is inspired by PythonTutor project. For the moment, it is a prototype and it is insecure (chroot has been removed, etc.) but as we will use it for an online course, it will be improved.

To test it, a VM is available here : https://partage.mines-telecom.fr/public.php?service=files&t=6a5a5e89d086f1aa6d9b14f88502999b

I might be wrong, but I think that :

• front and back end are well separated
• message format is not formally defined
• the front end is a bit "complex" (javascript and several technologies) but I am not a JS dev

Thanks, that's very inspiring!
Is there any sort of report documenting that internship, maybe?

Well, I will ask, but for the moment I only have this link:
