The runtime overhead of added instrumentation is small (5–20%) and the bytecode instrumentor itself is very fast (mostly limited by file I/O speed). Memory overhead is a few hundred bytes per Java class. EMMA is 100% pure Java, has no external library dependencies, and works in any Java 2 JVM (even 1.2.x).
Instead of using a physical stop button to suspend execution - to then begin stepping through the application program, a breakpoint or "Pause" request must usually be set beforehand, usually at a particular statement/instruction in the program (chosen beforehand or alternatively, by default, at the first instruction).
The Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) is a collection of APIs to debug Java code. Java Debugger Interface (JDI) – defines a high-level Java language interface that developers can easily use to write remote debugger application tools. Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface (JVMTI) – a native interface that helps to inspect the state ...
It can be used to track the flow of data values of a piece of code. This type of debug code has some distinct disadvantages. It is temporary and usually removed when the bug is solved. The use of many print statements can affect the actual output of a program and slow down the run-time, depending on how often print statements are called.
Print debugging or tracing is the act of watching (live or recorded) trace statements, or print statements, that indicate the flow of execution of a process and the data progression. Tracing can be done with specialized tools (like with GDB's trace) or by insertion of trace statements into the source code.
The JVMTI replaces the JVMPI (Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface) and the JVMDI (Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface). The JVMPI and the JVMDI are declared as being deprecated in J2SE 5.0 and were removed in Java SE 6. JVMTI is the lowest-level of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture.
To debug a misbehaving configuration: In Log4j 2 configurations set the status attribute to TRACE to send internal status logging output to standard out. To enable status logging before the configuration is found, use the Java VM property -Dorg.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level=trace. In Log4j 1, use the Java VM property -Dlog4j ...
The debugging interface of Eclipse with a program suspended at a breakpoint. Panels with stack trace (upper left) and watched variables (upper right) can be seen. In software development, a breakpoint is an intentional stopping or pausing place in a program, put in place for debugging purposes. It is also sometimes simply referred to as a pause
