SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRACE POINTS UTILIZING SOURCE CODE DIRECTORY STRUCTURES

摘要

A system and method for controlling trace points utilizing source code directory structures. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a debug engine sets a debug level to a default debug level for an application to be debugged, wherein said application includes a collection of files organized within a collection of directories. A debug utility creates a set of trace point selections by selecting at least one file among the plurality of files in the first directory for debug when a first directory among the collection of directories is evaluated. The debug utility enables at least one trace point within the at least one file. The debug engine debugs the application according to the set of trace point selections and the debug level selected.
