Diagnostic workflow for production debugging

摘要

A diagnostic workflow file can be used to control the future diagnostic actions taken by a debugger without user interaction with the debugger when it executes. The diagnostic workflow file is used by a debugger during a debug session. The debugger performs the actions directed by the diagnostic workflow file to simulate an interactive live debug session. The diagnostic workflow file can include conditional diagnostic operations whose execution depends on the state of program variables, diagnostic variables and diagnostic primitives in the debug session.

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor: a memory connected to the at least one processor; and a diagnostic tool comprising: at least one program module loaded into the memory, the at least one program module creating a diagnostic workflow file, the diagnostic workflow file including instructions for controlling future diagnostic operations of a debugger without user interaction with the debugger as the debugger executes.
