Abstract: Methods and apparatus for debuggers supporting method restart are described. A method comprises implementing a user interface (UI) enabling a user to submit a request, via a single interaction within a debugging session, to restart execution of an invocable operation of a program. The method further comprises, in response to a request to restart an invocable operation, designating, as the source code line whose corresponding executable code is to be executed next, the first line of source code of the particular invocable operation that corresponds to an executable operation. The method includes indicating that execution of the program is to be resumed at the first line, and resuming execution of the program at the first line.

Abstract: A software application profiling environment is provided, where the software application profiling environment monitors an execution of a software application, where a software application includes one or more computer programs. The software application profiling environment further stores execution history information for the one or more computer programs of the software application. The software application profiling environment further displays some or all of the computer program instructions of the computer program, and further displays a visualization of the stored execution history information. The visualization can be a static visualization or a dynamic visualization. Further, the visualization can be overlaid on top of the computer program instructions of the computer program.

Abstract: Development assistance for a program comprising code in more than one language, is provided appropriately for each language in an integrated development environment. The assistance can include syntax highlighting, structure analysis, error reporting, completion assistance and/or context-sensitive help. The language of the subject element of code is determined and the appropriate assistance processes are applied. If the code is in a supplementary language, routines associated with the supplementary language are invoked to provide the assistance. When needed, information from other parts of the program file is provided to determine the appropriate assistance for the element of code.
