Processor implemented systems and methods for reversible debugging using a replicate process system call

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for debugging program code. Program code is executed in a process. Clone processes of the process are generated at predetermined time intervals to capture states of execution of the program code at the predetermined time intervals. State data is extracted from the clone processes to generate snapshots of execution of the program code at the predetermined time intervals. A display of the snapshots is provided for debugging the program code, where the snapshots include the extracted state data from the clone processes generated at the predetermined time.
