  • Method and computer program product for disassembling a mixed machine code
    Patent number: 9626170
    Abstract: A method and a computer program product for disassembling a mixed machine code are described. The machine code is provided as a sequence of code items including one or more instructions and one or more data items. The method comprises: storing the sequence of code items in accordance with a corresponding sequence of addresses; executing the machine code, thereby generating an execution trace; and partitioning the sequence of addresses into instruction address blocks and data address blocks on the basis of control data, the control data comprising at least the execution trace.

  • Method and system for obtaining run-time information associated with executing an executable
    Patent number: 9582397
    Abstract: A method of obtaining run-time information associated with executing an executable is described. The method comprises receiving an external database comprising one or more external debugging information entries, retrieving the one or more external debugging information entries from the external database and storing the one or more external debugging information entries retrieved from the external database in a debugging information entries collection. The method further comprises providing the debugging information entries collection to a debugging information consumer, and obtaining the run-time information from letting the debugging information consumer retrieve run-time values and format the run-time values according to the external debugging information entries in the debugging information entries collection.

  • Integrated circuits and methods for debugging
    Patent number: 9135144
    Abstract: A method for identifying a current context during execution of application program code. The method comprises the steps of retrieving static context information for the application program code, identifying at least one active section of the application program code loaded in physical memory; and identifying a current context based at least partly on the at least one identified active section and retrieved static context information.
