Abstract

Techniques are described for debugging an application executing on a remote host device. A daemon executing on the host device is instructed, from a server device, to install an application to be debugged and to launch a remote debug module on the host device. A communication session is established between the remote debug module and a local debug module executing on the server device. Debug commands received at the local debug module are communicated to the remote debug module and employed during the debugging of the application. Debug output from the debugging session may be provided to the server device via a mount point into shared memory on the host device.
