   Re: How to study debugger internals ?

   You can start off by looking at the man page for the ptrace system   
   call, which is present on most UNIX flavors.   
      
   Debugger implementations such as gdb use the ptrace system call to   
   control the execution of the process being debugged (breakpoints,   
   single-stepping, etc) and the debug info (if any) generated by the   
   compiler to provide support for symbolic debugging.
