Abstract

A computer system, program product and method to facilitate debugging of multi-threaded computer programs by identifying threads that interact with program elements such as instructions or variables. For instance, after program execution is halted by a break point, a user may request retrieval of an identification of all threads encountering a certain statement number. Moreover, the program element may be implemented as a thread identification control point in a manner similar to a break point, utilizing a break point table to determine whether a system exception is due to a break point or to a thread identification control point. If the latter, program execution continues after storing the thread identifier in a record for the thread identification control point in the break point table.
