Abstract
A method () or a diagnostic recording device () having transactional memory and a processor coupled to the transactional memory can store () contents of a transaction log () of the transactional memory, detect () an exception event, and replay () last instructions that led up to the exception event using a debugger tool (). The transactional memory can be hardware or software based transactional memory. The processor can also store the transaction log by storing the contents of the transaction log in a core file () which can include a stack (), a register dump (), a memory dump (), and the transactional log. The debugger tool can be used to load up the core file, an executable file (), and a library () to enable the diagnostic recording device to retrace transactions occurring at the diagnostic recording device up to the exception event.
