Abstract

An interactive system for debugging programs (104) in which a persistent data base system (110) responds to update queries (103) containing debugging information from a debugging information source (117/119) and to read queries (113) on the debugging information from an interactive interface (111). The interactive interface (111) produces the read queries (113) in response to inputs from users (125) and formats the results (127) of the read queries as required by the user. One source of inputs is a standard Web browser for which the interactive interface functions as a Web server. The system also includes a command channel (120) by which the source of debugging information (117/119) receives commands from the interactive interface (111). In one embodiment, the command channel (120) is implemented in the data base (110). In a disclosed implementation, the source of debugging information (117/119) provides memory debugging information (109). Also disclosed are techniques for using an automatic memory management system to reduce memory fragmentation and heap footprint size.
