Patent ID: 8661413

Claim:
An apparatus for impact indication of thread-specific events in a non-stop debugging environment, the non-stop debugging environment comprising a debugger configured to debug a debuggee comprising a plurality of threads of execution, wherein encountering an event by one of the threads stops execution of only the one thread without concurrently stopping execution of other threads, the apparatus comprising a computer processor and a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of: tracking, by the debugger, activity associated with a thread-specific event wherein only one thread of the plurality of threads is associated with the thread-specific event; wherein tracking activity associated with a thread-specific event further comprises tracking a number of encounters of the thread-specific event by threads not associated with the thread-specific event; and displaying, by the debugger in a graphical user interface (‘GUI’), an indication of thread-specific event impact in dependence upon the tracked activity.
