=== js::dbg2 === | === isd2IDebuggerService and the js::dbg2 Interfaces === | ||
The js::dbg2 interfaces, wrapped for JavaScript as the | |||
jsd2IDebuggerService, allow the debugger to discover and select debuggees, | |||
set breakpoints and watchpoints and otherwise express interest in debuggee | |||
behaviors, and inspect a debuggee's state. | |||
The js::dbg2 interfaces operate at the level of JavaScript programs and the | |||
things they manipulate (functions; scripts; lines), rather than revealing | |||
details of the SpiderMonkey implementation (JSScripts; bytecode | |||
instructions; JSStackFrames). This reduces the amount of work necessary to | |||
debug code compiled by TraceMonkey or JägerMonkey, as those new systems | |||
need not match the behavior of the old bytecode engine to avoid startling | |||
the debugger. | |||
