摘要:
A low privilege debug pipeline publisher advertises a debugging pipeline. Instead of having a client to which a debugger on the server has been attached interrogate the server for debugging information, the client requests information from the server. Control is returned to the server which can refuse to provide the requested information to the client. A debuggee server executes client code being debugged in an isolated context so that pausing the code at a breakpoint does not block the server. The server can apply transforms to compiled code to make the code cooperate with debugging services so that a privileged component to inspect the debuggee code is not needed.

A server exposes debugger services to a plurality of debugger clients. One or more debugger clients can select a debug operation and establish a debug session in a thread of a server process for debugging user code. A two-way debug communication pipeline can be established between a debugger client and the server using standard encoding protocols and standard network transport protocols. A two-way debug communication pipeline can be established using HTTP where the server can initiate a communication with the debugger client using a long polling technique. When one of the threads of the server process is suspended, the other threads in the server process continue to execute.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for simulating stepping through interpreted code. Embodiments of the present invention facilitate debugging interpreted code. Thus, existing debugger technologies (e.g., those configured for use with compiled code) can be utilized to debug interpreted code. More specifically, existing debugger technologies can be used to step through interpreted code, without stepping into the code of interpreter itself. Accordingly, users developing interpreted code can be provided a stepping experience of relatively the same quality provided to developers developing compiled code, without having to reengineer debuggers to compensate for interpreted code.

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for testing intermediate language operations. A debugger harness is provided that instruments an intermediate language stream to replace intermediate language operations with equivalent virtual intermediate language operations. A particular intermediate language operation is intercepted from the intermediate language stream and the equivalent virtual intermediate language operation is determined. The virtual machine runs under a debugger harness so that one or more managed applications are executed using the equivalent virtual intermediate language operations. This allows a functionality of the debugger to be tested.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for decompiling loops in a spreadsheet. Embodiments of the invention detect loops by walking a dependency graph on a spreadsheet. As nodes are encountered, sequences of the same formulas are looked for in a normalized representation of the spreadsheet (e.g., R1C1 notation). When the same formulas are identified, the formulas may represent a loop. The spatial structure of the cells is analyzed to determine which cells are to be stored in arrays and which cells can be loop carried dependencies.

A debugging pipeline may be developed to create a debugging experience for computer code operating in an execution environment, using a debugging tool outside of the execution environment. A producer can publish a debugging pipeline, configured to link the producer to a consumer (e.g., a debugging tool) by exposing a debugging pipeline interface object to a consumer. The debugging pipeline can implement a set of debugging protocols, comprising: protocol for processing of debugging requests for computer code in at least one of at least two computer languages; a protocol configured for processing of computer code language types in respective signatures without exposing operating system specific constructs; and a protocol for a first debugging pipeline to be isolated from one or more second debugging pipelines. Additionally, a consumer component can provide debugging of the computer code in the execution environment.

Interface optimization is provided using a closed system in which all the individual software components in the system are known to the compiler at a single point in time. This knowledge enables significant opportunities to optimize the implementation of interfaces on a set of implemented objects. When code is compiled, because the compiler knows the full list of interfaces and the objects which implement the interfaces, it can improve execution and working set (i.e., recently referenced pages in a program's virtual address space) when implementing the interfaces on objects. This improvement may be realized by reducing the size of interface lookup tables which map each interface to the object types which implement that particular interface.
摘要:
A method and system to implement debugging interpreted input is described herein. One or more Intermediate Language (IL) islands are generated. Each IL island maps to one or more lines of source code. The interpreter reads a line of source code and parses the line of source code for a command. Before executing the command, the interpreter may call into the corresponding IL island. The IL island may include a breakpoint that corresponds to a set breakpoint in the mapped one or more lines of source code. The IL island may include a function. When calling the IL island, the interpreter may pass in a function pointer, one or more states of one or more variables, a representation of a call stack, or any other parameters. The IL islands enable a debug tool to do source-level debugging of languages executed by an interpreter without architectural changes to the interpreter.

Techniques are described that enable restoring interrupted program execution from a checkpoint without the need for cooperation from the computer's operating system. These techniques can be implemented by modifying existing code using an automated tool that adds instructions for enabling restoring interrupted program execution.
