  • Patent number: 5513317
    Abstract: A system and method for enabling re-filtering of trace history data in a debugger without re-executing the program. Trace history data is stored together with its category information when the program is initially executed and trace history text is output to a user. If re-filtering is necessary, the new filtering criteria is applied to the stored trace history data and new text is output to the user.
