Crash notification between debuggers

摘要

Crash notification between debuggers, including: initiating, by a first debugger, a first debug session of a first application; detecting, by the first debugger, an error condition in the first application; determining, by the first debugger, whether any variables utilized by the first application are related to variables utilized by a second application, wherein the second application is being debugged in a second debug session by a second debugger; and communicating, by the first debugger to a second debugger, information associated with the error condition in the first application.

主权项

1. An apparatus for crash notification between debuggers, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
initiating, by a first debugger, a first debug session of a first application; detecting, by the first debugger, an error condition in the first application; identifying, by the first debugger, one or more positions in the first application where one or more variables utilized by the first application are related to one or more variables utilized by the second application; determining, by the first debugger, a stop position in the first application at which the error condition in the first application occurred; and determining, by the first debugger, whether any variables utilized by the first application are related to variables utilized by a second application, wherein the second application is being debugged in a second debug session by a second debugger; wherein determining whether any variables utilized by the first application are dependent upon variables utilized by the second application further comprises determining whether the stop position is one of the positions in the first application where one or more variables utilized by the first application are related to one or more variables utilized by the second application; and communicating, by the first debugger to a second debugger, information associated with the error condition in the first application.
