    摘要: The present invention relates to debugging of computer programs, and in particular to bi-directional debugging.A method of returning to a state in the history of execution of a computer program, said state comprising a set of values of one or more of registers of a processor on which the program is running, working memory space to which the program has access and operating system resources allocated to the program, the method comprising: identifying in machine code representing said program, instances of machine code instructions associated with substantially non-deterministic events; modifying said program machine code to execute a program instrumentation set of machine code instructions to handle said substantially non-deterministic events; executing said modified program machine code, storing a time series of said states during said executing; restoring a said stored state; and executing said modified program machine code forward in time starting at said restored state to return to said state in said program history of execution.

    摘要: We describe techniques which relate to bi-directional, in particular backwards, debugging of computer programs. Thus we describe identifying processes with shared memory access, such as threads or multicore processes, by arranging process (thread) memory ownership to deliberate provoke memory page faults to identify and handle concurrent memory access by multiple threads in such a manner as to enable deterministic replay, and hence backwards debugging.
