Abstract:
A novel and useful system and method of time traveling source code debugging including several advanced capabilities that significantly improve the source code debugging process. Upon hitting a breakpoint or opening a dump file, the debugger travels to the future which can be altered by a user by modifying code on the fly (live coding) and receiving immediate feedback to validate bug fixes. Visual annotations including values of variables and expressions are provided as a heads up display effectively flattening time and space. A pivoting capability allows a user to switch the execution context of the code at any time. Point in time links that store the state of the debugging session can be created and activated. An asynchronous collaboration and messaging system enables multiple participants to share a debugging session. An optional redaction capability is also provided for obscuring or replacing sensitive private information.
