Call debugger events

Events in debugging sessions occur in a specific order.

Discussion

To understand the pattern of calls between the debug engine (DE) and the session debug manager (SDM), the following represents the calling order of the events that occur in a typical debugging session:

1. Attaching and detaching to a program

2. Launching the debugger

3. Terminating a program

4. Creating a breakpoint

5. When a breakpoint binds or becoming unbound

6. Breakpoint errors

7. Hitting a breakpoint

8. Deleting a breakpoint

9. Entering break mode

10. Stepping in break mode

11. Expression evaluation in break mode

12. Exception handling
