System and method for debugging distributed programs
摘要
This invention provides a small and efficient set of primitives for debugging a distributed application that runs on a plurality of processors connected by a common network. These primitives permit a user to debug a distributed application in a manner similar to debugging a non-distributed application. The invention allows a user to step into and return from a remote procedure call in exactly the same manner as a local procedure call. The invention also allow a user to set breakpoints in a server for specific clients and to specify conditions under which a particular remote call from a client should trap in a server. These capabilities greatly simplify the process of debugging distributed applications such as client-server programs.
