Abstract
A debugging system for compiled code may include static analysis of the compiled code to determine current values for variables at a paused location within the compiled code. The static analysis may consist of liveness analysis to determine which variables are 'live' and in which memory locations those variables are stored. The variables and their values may be presented to a user. The debugging system may include mechanisms for setting stop points, for pausing and continuing execution, as well as stepping through a step or group of steps. Other static analysis may include unwind information that may determine a point in the code from where the current function was called, as well as partial decompilation of the source code to produce a representation of the compiled code that is closer to that of the source code.
