  1. debugger

    A debugger is a computer program used by software developers to test and debug other programs. It is a tool that allows the developers to control the execution of another program and facilitates examining the state of the program at any desired point or when a particular condition is met. Typically, it provides capabilities to step through the code line by line, display the values of variables, set and remove breakpoints, and control the execution flow of the program.

  1. Debugger

    A debugger or debugging tool is a computer program that is used to test and debug other programs. The code to be examined might alternatively be running on an instruction set simulator, a technique that allows great power in its ability to halt when specific conditions are encountered but which will typically be somewhat slower than executing the code directly on the appropriate processor. Some debuggers offer two modes of operation—full or partial simulation—to limit this impact. A "crash" happens when the program cannot normally continue because of a programming bug. For example, the program might have tried to use an instruction not available on the current version of the CPU or attempted to access unavailable or protected memory. When the program "crashes" or reaches a preset condition, the debugger typically shows the location in the original code if it is a source-level debugger or symbolic debugger, commonly now seen in integrated development environments. If it is a low-level debugger or a machine-language debugger it shows the line in the disassembly.
