Abstract

A method for implementing a step over operation by a debugger for an instruction in a routine includes receiving a step over command for an instruction and determining whether the instruction is a branch used for a function call. If the instruction is not a branch used for a function call, then the debugger treats the instruction as not a function call. If the instruction is a branch used for a function call, then the debugger determines whether the instruction is generated from source code. If the instruction is not generated from source code, then the debugger treats the instruction as not a function call. If the instruction is generated from source code, then the debugger treats the instruction as a function call.
