DEBUGGING METHOD FOR PROGRAM

PURPOSE:To shorten a debugging processing by counting the number for calling a debugging program and executing a program to be debugged from the next address of a prescribed address subsequently to stored contents without executing the debugging program when the called number does not coincide with the inputted number. CONSTITUTION:The contents of the prescribed address inputted by the input means 1 of the program to be debugged are stored in a holding means 12, an instruction for calling the debugging program is written in the address, the called number of the debugging program according to the execution of the program to be debugged is counted by a counting means 11, when the called number does not coincide with the inputted number, the debugging program is not executed but the program to be debugged is executed from the next address of the prescribed address subsequently to the contents stored in the holding means 12. Thereby, the execution of the program to be debugged is not interrupted at the contents of a register or a memory at the prescribed position of the program are grasped to continue the debugging processing.
