Patent attributes
This disclosure relates to exposing memory cell values prior to execution time(s) corresponding to events that caused the memory cell values to be recorded into a trace. Trace fragments, including a first trace fragment and a second trace fragment, are identified within a trace. Each trace fragment records an uninterrupted consecutive execution of executable instructions on a corresponding thread. The first trace fragment can be ordered prior to the second trace fragment. It is determined that a memory cell value can be exposed, during replay of the second fragment, at a first execution time that is prior to a second execution time corresponding to an event that caused the memory cell value to be recorded into the trace during trace recording. Output data is generated which indicates that the memory cell value can be exposed at the first execution time during replay of the second trace fragment.
