Historical debugger in Visual studio 2010
Hi,
In The visual Studio 2010 team System, A new feature called
Historical debugger. Normally, when we want to debug an application we
always put the breakpoint first and then start the Application or
attach some process for debugging. Visual studio 2010 team system is
coming with a feature called historical Debugging which allows code
execution to be rewound in case the breakpoint was not already present
when the error occurred.
Unlike the debugger of Visual Studio
2008 o before which only record the currently active stack, the
historical debugger will record all the event like prior function
calls, Method parameter etc(whatever required for debugger) even though
there is no breakpoint. This allows the code to be rewound whenever an
error occurs.
One drawback of Historical debugger would be that
it will take a lot more time and memory as the historical debugger will
be recording all events even if no breakpoint are set.
