Abstract

Method, apparatus and article of manufactured for debugging code. A user selects a function call (e.g., a method of object-oriented code) and a debugger parses the function call and sets breakpoints on the entry points of all instances of the method (assuming more than one). During execution, when one of the breakpoints is hit, the debugger determines whether the corresponding method is being called from the user-specified location in the code.
