Developers, take note: TotalView Technologies, a provider of scalable debugging and analysis software solutions, will be previewing reverse debugging capabilities for its multi-core debugging product line, including the TotalView Debugger and MemoryScape memory debugger, at the upcoming SC ‘07 show as part of its early experience program for customers.
With this new capability, developers will be able to “back up” during a debugging session to help identify a bug as it is happening, improving the efficiency of debugging sessions by eliminating the need to run a program multiple times, according to Kelly Cunningham, vice president of engineering at TotalView Technologies.
TotalView Debugger is a source code and optional memory debugging solution designed to enhance and simplify the process of debugging parallel, data-intensive, multi-process, multi-threaded or network-distributed applications. MemoryScape is an interactive memory debugger that helps developers, build engineers, and QA testers identify, inspect and resolve memory problems in C, C++ and FORTRAN, including complex multi-process and multi-threaded programs.
