ABSTRACT:
A method and system for debugging an executing service on a pipelined CPU architecture are described. In one embodiment, a breakpoint within an executing service is set and a minimum state of the executing service is saved. In addition, a program counter of the executing service is altered. The program counter is restored and the state of the executing service is restored.
