Claims17
An application debugger in a computer system comprising:
- a debugger memory heap;
- and
- an object copier for generating a stateful copy of an application object in the debugger memory heap at runtime;
- wherein the application object is stored in an application memory heap of an application process.
A method for debugging an application process, the method comprising:
- accessing the application memory heap;
- locating an application object in the application memory heap;
- and
- generating a stateful copy in a debugger memory heap of the application object at runtime.
A computer usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured to:
- access the application memory heap;
- locate an application object in the application memory heap;
- and
- generate a stateful copy in a debugger memory heap of the application object at runtime.
