Modifying the operating system source code is a legal debug technique. True or False?

Answer

True.

This technique is not taught in school nor in classes from closed-source kernel vendors. But, when applied to Linux (where it is a legal and acknowledged technique) it can turn days or weeks of delay into a couple of brief hours (or less) to resolve a difficult user-level or device driver bug.

Open Source operating systems such as Linux make this an extraordinarily valuable tool which most engineers simply don't know. To apply it, engineers need to know how to surf the kernel sources and find their way around.

RyteTyme teaches engineers how to use this and other built-in techniques that give them "the most bang for the buck."
