Abstract

Disclosed is a method, mechanism, and computer usable medium for simultaneous processing or debugging of multiple programming languages. A particularly disclosed approach provides a method and mechanism for resolving the issue of simultaneous debugging of hardware represented by an HDL, e.g., Verilog or VHDL, and software, e.g., represented by C, C++, SystemC code. This approach overcomes the problem of the HDL portion of the design being inaccessible when C, C++ or SystemC code is debugged.
