Adding code commentary to source code during software debugging

A method for software debugging comprising:

• executing software under the control of a debugger on a computer device having a processor coupled to a memory;
• interrupting, through a breakpoint, an execution of the software under debugger control at a point in the software where the breakpoint is inserted;
• upon interrupting the execution of the software, receiving user input information from a user relating to the execution of the software, wherein the user input information is code commentary provided by the user relating to the execution of the software at the point where the software is interrupted during the execution of the software;
• linking the code commentary relating to the execution of the software with the breakpoint in the software with a compiler;
• storing the code commentary in a data structure of the debugger;
• during a subsequent execution of the software under the control of the debugger, interrupting, through the breakpoint, the execution of the software under the debugger control at the point in the software where the breakpoint is inserted;
• and
• responsive to code commentary being linked with the breakpoint, displaying on a display coupled to the processor via an interface the code commentary relating to the execution of the software together with the corresponding element of the source code.
