Abstract:
A system of debugging computer code includes a processor: obtaining state information corresponding to a first machine at a checkpoint initiated during execution of the computer code on the first machine; and configuring the second machine to a same operating state as the first machine at the checkpoint to create a mirrored version of the first machine. The system also includes receiving a notification that execution of the program on a first machine has failed, and in response to receiving the notification: triggering a processor of the second machine to initiate execution of a copy of the code from a specific code execution point at which the checkpoint was; activating a debugger module to run concurrently with the execution of the program on the second machine and collect and store the debug data as corresponding to execution failure of the computer code at the first machine.
