Abstract
The present invention is a tracepoint debugging system in which instructions and displays to and from the user are represented using programming abstractions. This aids in the users' understanding of the collected tracepoint data. Additionally, the system can evaluate arithmetic expressions at the target system in order to determine addresses of data which is to be stored into the tracepoint buffer. This can reduce the amount of data required to be stored in the tracepoint buffer.
