  • inserting, by the debugger, a first breakpoint in the target application;

    entering, by the debugger, at least one filtering condition associated with the first breakpoint in a data structure;

    transferring execution by the target application to the breakpoint handler when during execution the target application encounters the first breakpoint at an address;

    retrieving, by the breakpoint handler, a filtering condition from the data structure based upon the address;

    evaluating, by the breakpoint handler, the filtering condition to determine if the filtering condition is met, andexecuting, by the breakpoint handler, a first code and a second code if the filtering condition is not met, wherein the first code is breakpoint code of the first breakpoint and a second breakpoint, and the second code is breakpoint code of the first breakpoint and not breakpoint code of the second breakpoint, wherein the second code comprises position independent code and code for jumping back to the target application.
