### Postmortem Debugging on OS/2

Note: Postmortem debugging is supported in the OS/2 environment through the ITRAPPER program. It is not available on Windows.

Use the debugger's postmortem debugging capabilities to debug failing programs that are already in production. Postmortem debugging is only useful when a program fails by trapping or by throwing an OS/2 exception, and your development site cannot easily reproduce the failure. When a trap or exception occurs in a production version of your program, relevant information such as process and thread IDs, register and memory contents, can be saved to a dump file, and this dump file can then be sent to you for debugging.
