Instrumentation and Tooling #33

Open giovinazzo-kevin opened 2 years ago

giovinazzo-kevin commented 2 years ago

I started working on some simple instrumentation for profiling and debugging. In the long run, it's imperative to tooling for:

Interactive debugging
Profiling of all engine functions
Knowledge base visualization and manipulation
Text editor integration (language server)
Static Analysis

And, maybe, for:

Automatic test generation?
CI?

And once again, improved tracing. It's still not clear enough. It should be better than SWI's in terms of readability.

For the record. Some tooling is required by #74 for static analysis.

A while ago I made a VSIX to enable syntax highlighting for Ergo. It's rough at the edges but it works well and lets you collapse rules which is cool.

Profiling is okay-ish, as in every component can be profiled and some of the profiling code is conditionally compiled away, though not always. But I need a better tool with a proper GUI to profile Ergo properly.
