Title: Debugging Systems
Inventor: NICHOLAS PETER BULL
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2016-07-27
Abstract: This application is for a method of performing a reverse or backwards debugging of a computer program in a deterministic manner. It works by taking a snapshot at specified points during the execution of the program, and then if a fault is detected returning to a specific snapshot and replaying the program from that point. It does this by first executing an instrumented, or monitored process S1101, which defines a reference execution of the program. It then intercepts a call to a library function by the instrumented process S1102, and executes the called library function on an uninstrumented process S1103. It then captures in a log only data that was generated or modified by executing the library function, such as memory transactions, required to continue the execution of the program S1104. There is also a second invention which runs an instrumented version of machine code representing the program, where the machine code initialises a plurality of threads in a first instrumented process.
