Abstract:
1. A method of facilitating debugging of code of a computer program, the method comprising: having a plurality of internal breakpoints associated with lines of code previously set by a processor, during a debugging session, while implementing one or more step-type operations; during execution of another operation, responsive to encountering an internal breakpoint of the plurality of internal breakpoints and determining that the internal breakpoint is unnecessary to complete the another operation, disabling the internal breakpoint; maintaining a count of a number of interrupts of one or more interrupt-types experienced during execution of the another operation; and responsive to the count exceeding a threshold, varying the disabling to automatically remove at least N internal breakpoints responsive to encountering the internal breakpoint during execution of the another operation and determining that the internal breakpoint is unnecessary to complete the another operation, wherein N≧2.
