Abstract:

The debugging system is provided that includes a debugging module that receives an application having one or more software breakpoints such that when a target system encounters the one or more software breakpoints the debugging module starts handling of the one or more software breakpoints. A determination is made as to whether the one or more software breakpoints is a selective software breakpoint, if it is determined that the selective software breakpoint has been encountered, the debugging module eliminates instruction replacement for all other remaining breakpoints and execution of the original instruction of the application at the encountered breakpoint or eliminates instruction replacement for all other remaining breakpoints and reinstalls the encountered breakpoint.
