You're welcome to work with ldb, described at
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/ldb. At present we're supporting C
and some toy compilers, and we have hopes of supporting the MLton
compiler for ML. My guess is that it would be a fair amount of work
to adapt the tool for C++, but still much better than starting from
scratch.


We've been working hard to try to figure out good strategies for
supporting different languages and compilers. I hope to have some
papers submitted for publication by summertime.
