Abstract

A technique for permitting tracepoints to be set relative to data elements for the debugging of a procedural program is disclosed. A proxy object is provided for each data element relative to which tracing is desired. The proxy object intercepts messages sent from the program to the data element caused by the execution of logic statements. In accordance with a developer's specified parameters, tracing functions relative to the data element are invoked in response to the receipt of each message dependent upon the nature of the message. The proxy object then forwards the message to the intended data element. Subsequent return of control from the data element to the program may also invoke the proxy object and affect tracing in accordance with parameters supplied by the developer to the debugger.
