Abstract

See full text

In a computer system, an improved tool and method for debugging complex computer applications, displays the relationship between processes and resources of the processes and the contents of the stack and registers for threads of processes. Double clicking on the displayed information causes more detailed information to be displayed. The display is updated when predetermined operations are performed during debug. Debug commands are accepted by the tool through a graphical user interface using operations performed by the user directly on the graphical representation of the functions of the software application. The ability of the tool to accept user commands through the graphical user interface and to display critical debugging information using this same interface greatly facilitates debugging. The displayed information includes graphical information representing currently executing processes and their resources and further representing threads of the currently executing processes.
