Abstract:
1. A method of user-specific software debugging, the method carried out by a debugger stored in a computer readable memory, the method comprising: receiving, from a user, a command to step execution of a debuggee to a source code module of the debuggee associated with the user; responsive to the command: receiving, by the debugger a list of source code module user assignments, the list generated by one or more users during software development prior to the debug session, wherein identifying each routine in a call stack comprising the source code module associated with the user further comprises searching the list for user assignments of each routine in the call stack inserting, for each routine comprising the source code module associated with the user, a breakpoint at each line of source code of the routine; inserting, for each of the source code module associated with the user and not in the call stack, a breakpoint at an entry point of the source code module further comprises searching the list for all source code modules assigned to the user; and executing the debuggee until the debuggee encounters one of the inserted breakpoints thereby halting execution of the debuggee.
