Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus are provided for debugging a compiled computer program having one or more variables by generating variable location information for a first variable stored in a CPU register that is parsed from runtime disassembly information for the compiled computer program and used to generate a pattern to search for the first variable in the runtime disassembly information to identify a program address for the first variable that can be used to set a software program watchpoint for the first variable.
