METHOD FOR DEBUGGING COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A debugging method is proposed in the disclosure. A computer running a program generates a master core dump file and one or more slave core dump files in response to a triggering event such as an internal failure. The core dump files are analyzed by another computer for debugging the program. The master core dump file includes an index list, and each entry of the index list corresponds to a slave core dump file of the one or more slave core dump files. The master core dump file can be the first to be transferred to the other computer. Based on the information in the index list, the other computer selectively requests one or more slave core dump files from the generated slave core dump files for debugging.
