   Hi Ripunjay,   
      
   You can learn a lot about one type of source code debugger from looking   
   at the GDB code. There is a lot of documentation on the GDB website and   
   wiki (http://sourceware.org/gdb/), including a manual documenting the   
   internals.   
      
   You may also find the application note I wrote on porting GDB to a new   
   target helpful: http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean3.html.   
      
   Hope this is useful,
