The Controller service provides the API for orchestrating a collection of debugger agents to perform debugging tasks.
These agents are each attached to a process of an application which may include one or more replicas.
The debugger agents register with the Controller to identify the application being debugged, the Debuggee. All agents that register with the same data, represent the same Debuggee, and are assigned the same debuggee_id
.
The debugger agents call the Controller to retrieve the list of active Breakpoints. Agents with the same debuggee_id
get the same breakpoints list. An agent that can fulfill the breakpoint request updates the Controller with the breakpoint result. The controller selects the first result received and discards the rest of the results. Agents that poll again for active breakpoints will no longer have the completed breakpoint in the list and should remove that breakpoint from their attached process.
The Controller service does not provide a way to retrieve the results of a completed breakpoint. This functionality is available using the Debugger service.
Equality
Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment always compare equal. Instances created with equal std::shared_ptr<*Connection>
objects compare equal. Objects that compare equal share the same underlying resources.
Performance
Creating a new instance of this class is a relatively expensive operation, new objects establish new connections to the service. In contrast, copy-construction, move-construction, and the corresponding assignment operations are relatively efficient as the copies share all underlying resources.
Thread Safety
Concurrent access to different instances of this class, even if they compare equal, is guaranteed to work. Two or more threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work. Since copy-construction and move-construction is a relatively efficient operation, consider using such a copy when using this class from multiple threads.

Functions
RegisterDebuggee(google::devtools::clouddebugger::v2::Debuggee const &, Options)
Registers the debuggee with the controller service.
All agents attached to the same application must call this method with exactly the same request content to get back the same stable debuggee_id
. Agents should call this method again whenever google.rpc.Code.NOT_FOUND
is returned from any controller method.
This protocol allows the controller service to disable debuggees, recover from data loss, or change the debuggee_id
format. Agents must handle debuggee_id
value changing upon re-registration.
Parameters | |
---|---|
Name | Description |
debuggee |
google::devtools::clouddebugger::v2::Debuggee const &
Required. Debuggee information to register. The fields |
opts |
Options
Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies. |
Returns | |
---|---|
Type | Description |
StatusOr< google::devtools::clouddebugger::v2::RegisterDebuggeeResponse > | the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.devtools.clouddebugger.v2.RegisterDebuggeeResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the |
RegisterDebuggee(google::devtools::clouddebugger::v2::RegisterDebuggeeRequest const &, Options)
Registers the debuggee with the controller service.

opts |
Options
Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies. |
Returns | |

Type | Description |
StatusOr< google::devtools::clouddebugger::v2::RegisterDebuggeeResponse > | the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.devtools.clouddebugger.v2.RegisterDebuggeeResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the |
ListActiveBreakpoints(std::string const &, Options)
Returns the list of all active breakpoints for the debuggee.
The breakpoint specification (location
, condition
, and expressions
fields) is semantically immutable, although the field values may change. For example, an agent may update the location line number to reflect the actual line where the breakpoint was set, but this doesn't change the breakpoint semantics.
This means that an agent does not need to check if a breakpoint has changed when it encounters the same breakpoint on a successive call. Moreover, an agent should remember the breakpoints that are completed until the controller removes them from the active list to avoid setting those breakpoints again.
