Abstract
Debugging of code of a computer program is facilitated by implementing a step-type operation using internal breakpoints to ensure debugger control of the code. During a debugging session, a step-type operation is implemented by setting active internal breakpoints on every line of code of every routine currently on the call stack referenced by the processor and on entry points of the code being debugged, and subsequently leaving in place, upon completion of the step-type operation, active internal breakpoints. Subsequent to implementing the step-type operation any active internal breakpoints encountered during execution of one or more other operations of the code and deemed unnecessary to completion of the other operation(s) are disabled, and the location of any internal breakpoints disabled during execution of the one or more other operations are tracked in a data structure(s) for subsequent use in reestablishing needed internal breakpoints for implementation of another step-type operation.
