Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for simulating stepping through interpreted code. Embodiments of the present invention facilitate debugging interpreted code. Thus, existing debugger technologies (e.g., those configured for use with compiled code) can be utilized to debug interpreted code. More specifically, existing debugger technologies can be used to step through interpreted code, without stepping into the code of interpreter itself. Accordingly, users developing interpreted code can be provided a stepping experience of relatively the same quality provided to developers developing compiled code, without having to reengineer debuggers to compensate for interpreted code.
