Abstract
Stepping out of an asynchronous process. A method includes, as part of a computer program execution, at a caller, making an asynchronous function call from the caller to a callee. Associated with the asynchronous function call a continuation waits for the completion of the callee with respect to the asynchronous function call. The method further includes correlating a debugging indicator to the callee indicating that a user wishes to step out of the caller when the callee returns. An indication of completion of the callee with respect to the asynchronous function call and that a user wishes to step from the callee to the continuation is received. The debugging indicator is referenced and based on the debugging indicator execution at entry into the continuation is stopped.
