Estimating the term…
The source code for a computer program contains a plurality of debug output statements that provide a debug output string when the computer program is running. Each debug output statement comprises a fixed-content text string field which is provided in the debug output string. The fixed-content text string field of each debug output statement is replaced with a unique text string number to provide stripped source code. A number-to-string mapping table for translating each unique text string number into a corresponding fixed-content text string is constructed. The stripped source code is compiled to provide stripped object code. The stripped object code for the computer program is run on a target computer. A debug computer receives debug output strings from corresponding debug output statements of the computer program, each debug output string having a unique text string number. The debug computer translates the unique text string number for each debug output string into a corresponding text string using the number-to-string mapping table, and replaces the unique text string number in the debug output string with the corresponding text string to provide an un-stripped debug output string. The debug computer displays the un-stripped debug output string.
