ABSTRACT:
A method, a computer-implemented apparatus, and a computer program product for identifying a global breakpoint for debugging computer software are disclosed. The method includes the step of representing the global breakpoint in software code using an identifier of an executable file and an offset in the executable file. Preferably, the file identifier is an inode of a Unix or Unix-like operating system.
