Question: 1
A debugger or debugging tool is
basically software that is used to test/debug
programs. It has the ability to fetch an instruction, decode and execute that
instruction. After each and every instruction a debugger can give control back
to the user through its user interface or it can have ability to have a
breakeven point.
Suppose you are assigned to write
a code that will debug an interrupts using internal support provided through
assembly language. So you have to answer the following question that your code/program
is justifying the basic objectives that a debugger should have.
1.
Which
interrupts in assembly language programming can be used in debugging an
interrupt and how their functionality matches the debugging process?

- How your code will counter fault and trap exception?
(Marks: 5)
- Which flag will be used in debugging an interrupt and how?
