Abstract
Simultaneous debugging of code running in multiple types of runtime environment can be performed by an n-way interoperative debugging environment. Code running within a particular runtime can be debugged simultaneously with a code running within other runtimes within a single process. Out-of-process debugging support is provided for inspection and execution control. A compatible debugger or runtime communication protocol is used. Transitions from one runtime to another runtime can be detected. Exceptions thrown in one runtime can be caught by another runtime. Stepping operations can occur in multiple runtimes. A callstack including frames from multiple runtimes can be walked.
