  • 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:
