Abstract

Software developers working on multi-language systems can utilize a multi-language debugging environment. The debugging environment can be uniform across languages, and can seamlessly perform debugging between one or more languages in a multi-language environment. Such a system can have a number of attributes intended to help developers facing debugging problems in multi-language environments. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

Claims

1. A method for debugging in more than one programming language, comprising:

providing an interface with a debugging frame for each language; and

allowing a user to edit each language in a debugging frame.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

providing the capability to interpret multiple languages within a single source file and allow each of the multiple languages to be displayed in a debugging frame.

3. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

providing the ability to support additional languages.
