Abstract
In a multi-process display method of displaying processes to be debugged in a debugger system, an operation state change and detailed information of each process are acquired, each process is displayed using a predetermined pattern, a relationship between the processes is displayed using a layout of patterns and lines therebetween, the current operation state of each process is displayed using a particular display mode for the pattern, and the detailed information of each process is displayed.
Claims11
A multi-process display method of displaying processes to be debugged in a debugger system;
- comprising the steps of:
- monitoring and detecting an operation state change of each of the processes to be debugged;
- acquiring the detected operation state change of each process into the debugger system;
- representing each process using a predetermined graphic symbol;
- representing a relationship between the processes using a layout of graphic symbols and lines therebetween, the graphic symbol corresponding to the process and the line representing a parent-child or a brother relationship between the processes;
- representing the operation state of each process using a particular display mode for the graphic symbol;
- and
- updating the display mode for the graphic symbol indicating the operation state of each process when detecting the operation state change.
A debugger system, comprising:
- means for monitoring and detecting an operation state change of each process of multiple processes to be debugged;
- means for acquiring the detected operation state change;
- and
- display means for displaying each process using a predetermined graphic symbol, displaying a relationship between the processes using a layout of graphic symbol and lines therebetween, the graphic symbol corresponding to the process and the line representing a parent-child or a brother relationship between the processes, and displaying the operation state of each process using a particular display mode for the graphic symbol, and updating the display mode for the graphic symbol indicating the operation state of each process when detecting the operation state change.
A program stored on a storage medium storing instructions executable by a machine to perform method steps for debugging multi-processes, said method steps comprising steps of:
- monitoring and detecting an operation state change of each process of multiple processes to be debugged;
- acquiring the detected operation state change and detailed information of each process into the debugger system;
- displaying each process using a predetermined graphic symbol;
- displaying a relationship between the processes using a layout of graphic symbols and lines therebetween, the graphic symbol corresponding to the process and the line representing a parent-child or a brother relationship between the processes;
- displaying the operation state of each process using a particular display mode for the graphic symbol;
- displaying the detailed information of each process;
- and
- updating the display mode for the graphic symbol indicating the operation state of each process and the detailed information when detecting the operation state change.
