Abstract :
A set of debugging tools has been implemented for monitoring and controlling the execution sequences of Concurrent-C programs. Among these tools, REPLAY MONITOR can be employed for monitoring the synchronization events while RELAY REPRODUCER serves for reproducing the monitored synchronization events. When some processes of a concurrent program are irrelevant and time-consuming, PARTIAL REPLAY MONITOR and PARTIAL REPLAY REPRODUCER can be utilized for monitoring and reproducing synchronization events while ignoring the actual computation of those irrelevant processes in order to save debugging time
