Types of Debuggers
- Static debugger: A static debugger does not rely on any specific software. The debugging can be completed by the user.
- Dynamic debugger: A dynamic debugger can be either software or hardware. There are several types of dynamic debuggers, including the following:
- Breakpoint Debugger: Adding conditional and unconditional breakpoints to the program at various points
- Kernel Debugger: To debug the operating system, a debugger with kernel debugging capabilities is provided.
- Meta Debugger: Debugger includes debugging and meta-debugging features.
- Debugger with the same process: The debugger and debuggee processes are identical, and they both share the main memory. This type of debugger is simple and straightforward to implement. This debugger executes more quickly.
What is Debuggers?
A debugger is a tool that allows you to examine the state of a running program. Debugging is the process of locating and then removing bugs or errors in a program. An interactive debugging system gives programmers tools to help them test and debug their programs. Debugging is the methodical process of locating and eliminating bugs or defects in a computer program.
