Abstract:
A computer implemented method for identifying program flow in a computer program, executing in a debugger on at least one processor, subsequent to suspending execution of the computer program at a user breakpoint can include suspending execution of the computer program at a first user breakpoint, setting, by the debugger, one or more tracking breakpoints in one or more routines that can continue execution from the first user breakpoint, then resuming execution of the computer program. The method may be continued by suspending execution of the computer program at a second user breakpoint after processing by the at least one processor at least one instruction of the computer program. The method may further include determining whether to provide an indicator to indicate that at least one of the one or more tracking breakpoints was hit during the executing, and providing the indicator in response to determining to provide the indicator.
