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

Debuggee representations

• DEBUGGED_OBJECT
