Abstract
A method for implementing software breakpoints in a software program to be executed by a interpreter, comprising the steps of executing a look-up, in a main loop of the interpreter, the look-up function searching a list of breakpoint addresses to determine whether a breakpoint instruction is to be executed at the address referenced by the interpreter's current instruction pointer instead of the program instruction, and maintaining, in memory, the list of breakpoints addresses separately from the program code, such that the breakpoint list can be altered separately from the program code.
