Time Travel Source Code Debugger Incorporating Asynchronous Collaboration

A method of asynchronous collaborative debugging of a debuggee application having source code associated therewith, the method comprising:

• generating and transmitting a share request to one or more participants of a debugging session;
• once the share request is accepted, downloading captured current debugging session state and utilizing it immediately for debugging while contemporaneously downloading a captured dump file;
• rebuilding a memory delta buffer from the captured dump file once obtained, ceasing using the captured current debugging session state, and utilizing the captured dump file and rebuilt memory delta buffer for the debugging session;
• providing an asynchronous chat service for all participants of the debugging session;
• and
• generating and sharing one or more point in time links with participants in the debugging session, each point in time link indicating a specific location in the source code as well as execution context including a specific point in time in the execution of the source code.

A method of asynchronous collaborative debugging of a debuggee application having source code associated therewith, the method comprising:

• generating and transmitting a share request to one or more participants of a debugging session;
• once the share request is accepted, opening an additional view for the added participant in a cloud debugger;
• utilizing an existing current debugging session state and existing dump file already present on the cloud debugger in the additional view opened;
• providing an asynchronous chat service for all participants of the debugging session;
• and
• generating and sharing one or more point in time links with participants in the debugging session, each point in time link indicating a specific location in the source code as well as execution context including a specific point in time in the execution of the source code.
