A method for implementing software breakpoints in a software program to be executed by a interpreter, comprising the steps of executing a look-up, in a main loop of the interpreter, the look-up function searching a list of breakpoint addresses to determine whether a breakpoint instruction is to be executed at the address referenced by the interpreter's current instruction pointer instead of the program instruction, and maintaining, in memory, the list of breakpoints addresses separately from the program code, such that the breakpoint list can be altered separately from the program code.

Une méthode d'implémentation de points d'interruption de logiciel dans un programme informatique devant être exécuté par un interpréteur, comprend les étapes qui suivent. L'exécution d'une consultation de table, dans une boucle principale de l'interpréteur, la fonction de consultation de table effectuant la recherche d'une liste d'adresses de points d'interruption pour déterminer si une instruction de point d'interruption doit être exécutée à l'adresse référencée par le pointeur d'instruction courante de l'interpréteur, au lieu de l'instruction du programme; le maintien en mémoire de la liste des adresses de points d'interruption, séparément du code de programme, de sorte que la liste de points d'interruption puisse être modifiée séparément du code de programme.
