On Novices' Interaction with Compiler Error Messages
2017
Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research - ICER '17
Preserved Fulltext
However, qualitative results from the one-on-one thinkaloud study indicated that most students are reading the enhanced compiler error messages and generally make effective changes after encountering them ...
Testing student comprehension of the enhanced compiler error messages outside the context of an automated assessment tool demonstrated their effectiveness over standard compiler error messages. ...
We would also like to thank the reviewers for their careful and thorough feedback. ...

Given an LR(1) automaton, what are the states in which an error can be detected? For each such "error state", what is a minimal input sentence that causes an error in this state? ...
This allows building a collection of pairs of an erroneous input sentence and a (handwritten) diagnostic message, ensuring that this collection covers every error state, and maintaining this property as ...
The anonymous reviewers offered insightful remarks and pointers to the literature. ...

This intervention group has been previously shown to have a reduced overall number of student errors, number of errors per student, and number of repeated student errors per compiler error message. ...
Second, we compare the EQ and RED scores using data from an empirical control/intervention group study involving an editor which enhances compiler error messages. ...
What about student C who also logs 2r, but not all in one string s (say across 2s, by logging two consecutive errors of type x followed by some successful compiles, followed by two more consecutive errors ...

In this work, we address this problem of pedagogicallyinspired program repair and report TRACER (Targeted RepAir of Compilation ERrors), a system for performing repairs on compilation errors, aimed at ...
We identified successive snapshots of the student code (say C t and C t +1 ) such that (1) Compilation of C t resulted in at least one compilation error (2) Compilation of C t +1 did not produce any compilation ...

This work pursues a new approach to constructing compilers and presenting typeerror messages in which the type-checker itself does not produce the messages. ...

On the other hand, data that is part of a message should preferably be allocated on a shared area since this allows for fast (O(1)) interprocess communication that does not require actual copying. ...
As shown by our performance evaluation, conducted using a production-quality language implementation, the analysis is effective enough to discover most data which is to be used as a message, and to allow ...
