Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for statement level debugging. Statement level debugging refers to the ability to identify a statement in a source file, i.e. a breakpoint, and have program execution suspended at that point. Further, 'stepping' through the execution of the program may be performed a statement at a time. In accomplishing this a column reference is added to debugging information generated in connection with an object module. The column reference provides for distinguishing the different statements in a line of a computer program. Statement level debugging allows for more precise control of the debugging of a program. Alternative means for specifying the statement are also described.
