Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: determining that a log multi-process debug mode is specified; obtaining a log file for debugging a source code, wherein the log file includes a plurality of log records; inserting a plurality of process identifier fields into each current log record in the log file; inserting a new log record into the log file for a created new process; and providing for performance of debugging for the source code based in part on the plurality of process identifier fields inserted into each current log record.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining that a log multi-process debug mode is specified;
- obtaining a log file for debugging a source code, wherein the log file includes a plurality of log records including respectively corresponding process identifiers populating a plurality of process identifier fields;
- processing the log file by inserting a new log record with a new process identifier into the log file for a created new process;
- providing for performance of debugging for the source code based in part on the plurality of process identifier fields;
- and
- switching to a different inferior process while debugging the source code by:
- obtaining a target process identifier of the different inferior process;
- determining whether the target process identifier is located in a process family tree for the new log record;
- in response to determining the target process identifier is located in the process family tree for the new log record, obtaining a child process identifier of the different inferior process;
- identifying a located log record included in the log file, the located log record having the new process identifier equal to the child process identifier for the different inferior process;
- and
- updating a debugger current program counter and a debugger current process identifier based on the located log record.
