Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Visualization of synchronization points in modified program source code includes identifying the synchronization points in a program source code segment. The identification is performed in response to a modification of the program source code segment. The visualization of the synchronization points also includes storing line numbers of the synchronization points and line contents corresponding to text located at stored line numbers in the program source code segment. The visualization of the synchronization points further includes implementing, as part of a debugging session: retrieving the synchronization points and the line contents, displaying the line contents of the synchronization points on a display screen, and providing a user with an option to step through the synchronization points in the program source code while skipping the remaining portions of the program source code segment. Displaying the line contents includes visually differentiating the synchronization points from remaining portions of the program source code segment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a computer processor; and logic executable by the computer processor, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising: recording, in a memory device prior to a debugging session, synchronization points including line numbers of the synchronization points and line contents corresponding to text located at stored line numbers in a program source code segment; generating, by the compiler, optimized program so…
