Debugging multiple threads or processes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a system for debugging applications at resource-constrained virtual machines, which includes a target device configured to host a lightweight debug agent to obtain debug information from one or more threads of execution at a virtual machine.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for execution control of a user application program utilizing control program and management software is provided, which enables attaching a debugger to a state, maintaining debug context for all the saved states, and means to jump to another state saved at an earlier point in execution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system of testing software is provided, which consists of a first hardware system having hardware components to execute a first version of the software, and additionally comprises a second hardware system with hardware components that execute a second version of software at approximately the same time as the first hardware component of the first one.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method and apparatus for critical path profiling of threaded programs that use messaging, which includes creating a package slip for a message from a first program thread, the package slip containing information regarding the message, placing the message slip on a queue, and sending the message from the first thread.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for graphically debugging a computer program is presented, which is capable of displaying a graphical representation of an application program to be debugged, and allows a user to insert debugging tools such as breakpoints directly into the graphical representation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of controlling the execution of the threads of a first application such as a user application from a second application running in a different address space is presented. But it does not specify how to distinguish between the two applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a processor-based device incorporating an instruction trace cache (200) capable of providing information for reconstructing instruction execution flow is described, which can be captured without halting normal processor (104) operation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a monitor program registers itself with the operating system exception handler to be called in response to an exception generated by the application program, and the exception handler calls the registered debugging program to initiate debugging of the program which generated the exception.
