Abstract
A computer program execution record and replay system providing recorded execution event breakpoints is described. In one embodiment, for example, in the record and replay system, a method for providing recorded execution event breakpoints, the method comprising: recording information about one or more execution events that occur during a recorded execution of a computer program; during a replay execution of the computer program in which a particular execution event of the one or more execution events is faithfully reproduced, determining whether a breakpoint is to be set in the replay execution of the computer program based on the recorded information about the particular execution event; and if the breakpoint is to be set, then setting a breakpoint in the replay execution of the computer program such that the replay execution breaks at a point corresponding to the faithful reproduction of the particular execution event.
