Abstract
A method is provided comprising: monitoring, by a symbol context manager, context switch events that are generated in a virtual machine, and updating a symbol space map based on the context switch events; receiving, by the symbol context manager, a request to provide a symbol space of the virtual machine, the request being generated by a symbol database interface in response to a symbol query that is received at the symbol database interface from a debugger that is debugging the virtual machine, the symbol query being associated with a symbol that is part of the symbol space; and providing, by the symbol context manager, an indication of the symbol space of the virtual machine, the indication of the symbol space being provided based on the symbol space map.
