Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment create breakpoint groups and breakpoints in a hierarchical tree structure. An operation directed to a breakpoint group is performed on both the breakpoint group and the descendents in the tree of the breakpoint group. But, an operation directed to a descendent is not performed against its ancestors. In this way, the user can more easily organize, enable, and disable breakpoints.References Cited

Independent Claims | See all claims (20)
- 1. A method comprising: creating a hierarchy of a plurality of breakpoint groups, wherein a first breakpoint group in the plurality of breakpoint groups is a parent of a second breakpoint group in the plurality of breakpoint groups.
- 6. An apparatus comprising: means for receiving an operation directed to a first breakpoint group; means for finding a descendent of the breakpoint group; and means for performing the operation against the first breakpoint group and the descendent.
- 11. A signal-bearing medium encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed comprise: receiving a request directed to a first breakpoint group; finding all of a plurality of descendents of the first breakpoint group; performing an operation on the first breakpoint group in response to the request; and performing the operation on the plurality of descendents.
- 16. An electronic device comprising: a processor; and a storage device encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed on the processor comprise: creating a plurality of breakpoint groups and a plurality of breakpoints in a hierarchical tree structure, receiving a first request directed to a first breakpoint group in the plurality of breakpoint groups, finding all of a plurality of descendents of the first breakpoint group, performing a first operation on the first breakpoint group in response to the first request, and performing the first operation on the plurality of descendents.
