  • Platform independent memory image analysis architecture for debugging a computer program
    Patent number: 6789216
    Abstract: A platform independent analysis architecture analyzes memory images for computer programs. The analysis architecture is platform independent in that it is not tied to a particular version of a computer program and is not dependent on the presence or absence of patches. In addition, the analysis architecture is not tied to the hardware architecture on which the analysis architecture runs. The analysis architecture dynamically determines data type definitions for a computer program to account for the hardware architecture on which the computer program runs, the version of the computer program that is running and the presence or absence of patches. As a result, accurate views of data types may be discerned at run time so that the views of the data types may be employed in analyzing memory images such as crash dumps and run time dumps. This analysis architectures greatly assists parties in debugging computer programs as a result.
