= Overview =
* main Eiffel classes: DEBUGGER_MANAGER, APPLICATION_EXECUTION, APPLICATION_STATUS, DUMP_VALUE, ABSTRACT_DEBUG_VALUE, DEBUGGED_OBJECT
= Platform specific =
== Classic system: ==
* main Eiffel class: APPLICATION_EXECUTION_CLASSIC, APPLICATION_STATUS_CLASSIC, IPC_ENGINE, STOPPED_HDLR
* main runtime entries: 
** folder Src/C/ipc (Inter Process Communication)
 Src/ipc/app: for the application side (debuggee)
 Src/ipc/ewb: for the Eiffel debugger side (debugger)
 Src/ipc/daemon: for the debugger daemon (kind of proxy between ewb and app)
 Src/ipc/shared: shared code for the communication, (un)serialization, ...

== Dotnet system: ==
* Check Src/framework/cli_debugger

= Debugger, launcher ...=
* '''DEBUGGER_MANAGER''': the main interface to control the debugger
* '''DEBUGGER_CONTROLLER''': used internally to request a start, step, kill ... operation
* '''DEBUGGER_EXECUTION_PARAMETERS''': hold the parameters to launch a debugging session (i.e: arguments, working directory, environment variables)

= Execution=
* '''APPLICATION_EXECUTION''': when a debugging session is launched, the debugger create an instance of APPLICATION_EXECUTION which represents the debuggee execution
* '''APPLICATION_STATUS''': associated with APPLICATION_EXECUTION, it holds various status,state,data related to the execution, and execution stopped state.

= Debuggee objects=
* '''DEBUGGED_OBJECT''': mainly use to retrieve debuggee data given an address value
* '''DUMP_VALUE''': result of evaluation, it is used to get the effective value for debugger's usage (such as display)
* '''ABSTRACT_DEBUG_VALUE''' (with EIFNET_ prefix for dotnet specific versions): represent the debuggee object, with class, type, address, attributes (if any) ....
* '''ICOR_DEBUG_VALUE'''  (for dotnet): Eiffel classes mapping the ICorDebug value classes
