Description: Process debugging is the process of identifying and correcting issues within a process. This concept is fundamental in programming and software development, as it allows developers to detect errors, failures, or unexpected behaviors in their applications. Debugging can be performed at different levels, with two of the most important being kernel mode and user mode. In user mode, programs run with limited privileges, meaning they cannot directly access operating system resources. This allows for a safer environment, but can also complicate debugging, as errors may be harder to trace. On the other hand, kernel mode allows processes to interact directly with hardware and the operating system, making it easier to debug system-level issues but also carries a higher risk of causing system instability. Process debugging is essential for ensuring the stability and performance of applications, relying on tools and techniques that allow developers to analyze their programs’ behavior in both modes, thus ensuring that functionality and efficiency requirements are met.
