Abstract: A change to a first version of source code of an application that is running with a debugger attached is identified, resulting in a second version of the source code. It is determined whether the change occurred with corresponding software suspended or not. The change is applied to the software without restarting the software, based on applying the change using edit and continue (EnC) when the change occurred with the software suspended, or applying the change using hot reload when the change occurred with the software not suspended. Subsequently, the software is suspended, and debug state is presented. The presentation includes presenting the second version of the source code after EnC, or after hot reload and when the software is suspended in an updated memory entity; or presenting the first version of the source code after hot reload and when the software is suspended in a stale memory entity.

Abstract: Hot reloading a running application with an unsaved source code change. A code change to a source code of a running software application that is associated with a project type is identified. The code change is stored within an in-memory editor buffer, and is uncommitted to any source code file. It is determined that the code change can be applied to the running software application using hot reload. Hot reload agent(s) associated with the project type are identified. Using the hot reload agent(s), the code change is communicated to an application runtime associated with the running software application. At least one process of the running software application invokes a new compiled code entity corresponding to the code change.

Abstract: To set data breakpoints on properties and certain other functions, constituent data locations (CDLs) that can contribute to computation of the property value or other function result are identified, and respective constituent data breakpoints are added at one or more CDLs by data breakpoint adder code. Each constituent data breakpoint will suspend execution of an inspectable software in response to occurrence of a CDL data entry. The CDLs are identified by CDL identifier code using static data flow analysis, enhanced interpretation, or disassembly, with recursion as appropriate. Kernel or runtime routines, and other routines designated as known, can be excluded from the CDL search. Data locations marked read-only, or that are effectively read-only because they will not be written, can also be excluded.
