Abstract
A set of portable services for debugging computer software programs is disclosed. The services provide an object-oriented programming framework which is portable to various hardware and operating system platforms. The framework consists primarily of a debugger server and a debugger client. Multiple debugger clients, which target multiple processes executing on heterogeneous systems, can be used concurrently from a single high-level debugger process. Clients can processes locally and remotely. The client interface is portable to any platform that supports C++. A string class defines storage for variable length character strings.
