Debugging Tools for Windows

T

target
A target application, target computer, or dump target.

Sometimes referred to as the debuggee.

target application
An application that is being debugged in user-mode.

target computer
A computer that is being debugged in kernel-mode.

target ID
The unique identifier for a target.

target process
In user-mode debugging, an operating system process that is part of the target application.

In kernel-mode debugging, the virtual process representing the kernel.

target thread
In user-mode debugging, an operating system thread in the target application.

In kernel-mode debugging, a virtual thread representing a processor.

thread context
The state preserved by Windows when switching threads. This is similar to the register context, except that there is some extra kernel-only processor state that is part of the register context but not the thread context. This extra state is available as registers during kernel-mode debugging.

For more information, see Scopes and Symbol Groups.

transport layer
This controls communication between the host and target computers during remote debugging.

trap
See bug check.

type
See symbol type.
