A power charger includes a first storage area to store control software, a charging circuit to send power through an interface, and a processor to generate at least one control signal based on the control software. The power to be sent through the interface is to charge a battery of a device coupled to the interface, and the at least one control signal includes information to cause a monitoring operation to be performed to determine a status of the device.

Apparatus and method for managing operation of a mobile device

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein a first application requests an operating system to monitor a memory address, and wherein the operating system generates a signal in response to an operation that affects the memory address. A second application receives the generated signal. The second application determines whether to forward the signal to the first application. The first application processes the signal, in response to the signal being forwarded by the second application.

Management of watchpoints in debuggers

A computer system includes an aggregator network that couples a plurality of processes on which an application executes to a debugger user interface. Using the debugger user interface, commands are created and sent through the aggregator network to the processes and messages from the processes are routed through the aggregator network to the debugger user interface. Whenever possible, the aggregator network combines the processors' messages into fewer messages and provides a reduced number of messages to the debugger user interface. The aggregated messages generally contain the same information as the messages they aggregate and identify the processes from which the messages originated. The aggregator network examines the processor messages for messages that have identical or similar data payloads and aggregates messages that have identical or similar payloads.

Multiprocess debugging using multiple conventional debuggers

A language translator is provided which determines memory structure at compile time for a plurality of object classes including at least one virtual base class and at least one class derived therefrom. At compile time, space for pointers (b-pointers) is set aside in each class object that will have a base table (b-table) associated therewith. The b-pointers point, at run time, to an associated b-table containing memory offsets between the base classes of the derived class. At run time, constructors construct the class objects, starting from the most derived class object and proceeding through to the base class object. However, instead of generating the virtual tables and associated pointers, as well as the adjusting functions, at compile time, the language translator generates the code for these operation to be executed at run time. Then at run time, a virtual function table is generated for the base class. Since the necessary offsets are known at run time, all of the adjusting functions, the virtual function tables, and the virtual pointers may be generated. Thus, the system completes the construction of an object.
