That's about a debugger
hi guys do you have any idea that how to use AI for debugging our programs which have logical bugs and passed through a compiler before? i've been writting down some codes and i need to figure it out how help this idea! any helps will be appriciated.

ehm ... what? pls rewrite your question, i don't get what you want

alright i'm thinking about a program that can help in debugging after that program passed compiler phases here is an example:
int arr[3];
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
arr[i]=1;
these simple codes have a bug which will not be found by compiler the bug as you can see is that "for" loop puts 5 values in arr but it can contain only 3 integers and this loop may change smt else saved in memory. i have to help debugging such simple things by implementing an artificial intelligence.listing these bugs is not a good idea i just know this fact.

hmm so you want to implement a program which fixes bugs? won't happen that easily. if you just want something for easier debugging use gdb (i guess you are writing/debugging C stylish code). and forget the other thing. i mean, that just wont happen in a solo project
btw: your example is a buffer overflow, which is something that has to be thought of while programming. on that matter:read about safe and unsafe functions (gets and fgets is a good example), i dont know if there is such a thing for loops.

thanks for mentioning gdb .it has the same strategy as my program called"LittleDebugger" has,and it is helping the human by cooperating with him/her .to the best of my knowledge this kinda program is not even really necessary to be implemented.a smart AI would help us in it therefore i need to categorize the bugs first of all and i believe this is the most impotant part which is not done by anyone still as it seems.would you pls think over this and maybe we get to some better ideas!
