Title: A Survey of Support for Implementing Debuggers
Author: V. Paxson
Group: Networking
Date: October 1990
PDF: http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/pubs/networking/debug_support90.pdf
Overview:
The degree to which hardware and operating systems support debugging strongly influences the caliber of service that a debugger can provide. We survey the different forms in which such support is available. We limit our survey to lower-level debugger design issues such as accessing the debugged program's state and controlling its execution. The study concentrates on those types of support that make overall debugger performance efficient and that support debugger features for ferreting out hard-to-find bugs. We conclude with an overview of state-of-the-art debuggers and a proposal for a new debugger design.
