Abstract
A system debugs software code and performs a method of debugging software code. The method includes starting execution of an instantiation of a process within the software code and determining whether the instantiation of the process corresponds with any entry in a database of reserved process identifiers (PIDs) and thread identifiers (TIDs). The system also includes assigning the PID and the TID from among the reserved PIDs and the TIDs in the database to the instantiation of the process based on the instantiation of the process corresponding with any entry in the database.
