Debug Session Management

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising machine-readable code that, when executed by a processor, facilitates performance of operations for providing a client-side debugger interface for a server-executed set of instructions, the operations comprising:

• when switching to a thread executing a set of instructions in a debug mode, checking a marker associated with a session to determine if another thread using the session has paused;
• and
• if another thread using the session has paused, executing the set of instructions without pausing;
• or
• if no other thread using the session has paused, executing the set of instructions until an instruction of the set of instructions associated with a breakpoint is reached, wherein execution of the set of instructions is paused responsive to reaching the breakpoint.

A method for providing a client-side debugger interface for a server-executed set of instructions, the method comprising:

• identifying a first set of instructions to be executed, wherein the first set of instructions is associated with at least one breakpoint;
• determining, based on a first marker, that a data structure is available;
• responsive to the determination that the data structure is available, updating the first marker to indicate that the data structure is in use;
• initiating execution of the first set of instructions;
• determining, based on a second marker, that pausing execution of the first set of instructions using the data structure is permitted;
• and
• responsive to the determination that pausing execution of the first set of instructions using the data structure is permitted:
• pausing execution of the first set of instructions before executing an instruction associated with a first breakpoint,
• updating the second marker to indicate that execution of the first set of instructions has paused using the data structure, and
• updating the first marker to indicate that the data structure is available.
