Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively advance the debugging work of plural processes by recognizing a debugging request to not only start plural process debuggers but also transmit a debugger command to plural process debuggers and receiving responses to the debugging command from plural process debuggers. CONSTITUTION:This device consists of a user command reception means 11 which recognizes and receives the debugging request of a user, a user command analysis means 12 which analyzes the user command to recognize debugging object processes, a process debugger start means 13 which starts process debuggers for all of designated debugging object processes, a debugging command issue means 14 which issues the debugging command to debugging object processes in accordance with the analysis result, and a debugging command reception means 15 which receives the debugging command from the debugging command issue means.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a debugging method, and more particularly to a multi-process debugging method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional debug system, one debug system (hereinafter referred to as a process debugger) is started for one process, a debug command is executed on the process debugger, and debugging work of a process to be debugged is performed. I was proceeding.

When debugging a plurality of processes, it is necessary to start a process debugger from each of a plurality of terminals or windows and to start a debug command from each of the terminals or windows, and to stop a plurality of processes at the same time, It was difficult to simultaneously debug multiple processes by executing commands such as execution.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to recognize a debug request, start multiple process debuggers, send debug commands to multiple process debuggers, and receive responses to debug commands from multiple process debuggers. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-process debug device capable of effectively proceeding with the debugging work of a plurality of processes.

[0005]

A multi-process debug device of the present invention includes a user command receiving means for recognizing and receiving a debug request of an operator (hereinafter, user) operating a debug system, and the user command receiving means. User command analyzing means for analyzing the received user command and recognizing the debug target process, process debugger starting means for starting the process debugger for all designated debug target processes at the start of debugging, and the user command analyzing means Debug command issuing means for issuing a debug command to a specified debug target process according to the analysis result of step 1, and debug command receiving which is present in each process debugger and receives the debug command issued by the debug command issuing means And means It is characterized in that it allows debugging of multiple processes by performing an operation instruction to process the debugger.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 11 is a user command receiving means for recognizing and receiving a debug request from a user, 12
Is a user command analyzing means for analyzing the user command received by the user command receiving means and recognizing a debug target process, and 13 is a process for activating a process debugger for all specified debug target processes at the start of debugging. Debugger starting means, 14 is a debug command issuing means for issuing a debug command to a specified debug target process according to the analysis result of the user command analyzing means, and 15 is present in each process debugger. The debug command receiving means receives the debug command issued by the command issuing means.

Reference numerals 16 and 17 are process debuggers for controlling the process to be debugged.
Process debugger A and process debugger B are used.

There are as many process debuggers as there are processes to be debugged.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, the process debugger starting means 13 starts the process debugger for the debug target in response to the user's request for starting the debug system. Here, it is assumed that the number of debug targets is two and the process debugger A and the process debugger B are activated.

When a debug command is issued to the process debugger A16, the user command receiving means 11 receives a debug request specifying a process debugger identifier and a debug command for the process debugger A, analyzes the received debug request, Recognize which process debugger the specified debugger identifier is. The debug command issuing means 14 issues a debug command to the designated process debugger according to the analysis result of the user command analyzing means 12. On the other hand, the debug command receiving means 15 incorporated in the process debugger receives the debug command and issues the received command to the debug system to debug the debugged process controlled by the process debugger A16.

Also, when issuing a debug command to the process debugger B17, it is possible to perform debugging in the same procedure as in the case of the process debugger A16.

In this system, the number of processes to be debugged is not limited.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of process debuggers can be activated simultaneously by starting a plurality of process debuggers, and a plurality of process debuggers can be simultaneously debugged in the same debugger operating environment. There is an effect that the debugging work of can proceed efficiently.
