Editing Shotgun debugging (section)

== Examples ==
Shotgun debugging can occur when working with [[multi-threaded]] applications. Attempting to debug a [[race condition]] by adding debugging code to the application is likely to change the speed of one [[Thread (computer science)|thread]] in relation to another and could cause the problem to disappear. This is known as a [[Heisenbug]]. Although apparently a solution to the problem, it is a fix by pure chance and anything else that changes the behavior of the threads could cause it to resurface &mdash; for example on a computer with a different [[Scheduling (computing)|scheduler]]. Code added to any part of the program could easily revert the effect of the "fix".
