<!-- BREAKPOINTS -->
<
h2>Commands of <
i>μCsim<
/i> to manage breakpoints<
/h2>
Two kind of breakpoint can be used: fetch and event breakpoint. <
b>Fetch<
/b>
breakpoints are classical breakpoints. They can be placed at any instruction
in the code memory. Breakpoint will be hit if CPU fetches instruction code
from the memory location specified by the breakpoint. Only fetching of first
byte of the instruction hits the breakpoint. If the execution reaches a
breakpoint it stops <
i>before<
/i> the instruction at location specified by
the breakpoint would be executed.
<
p><
b>Event<
/b> breakpoints are special onces. They cause stop of execution
if event specified by the breakpoint occurs. Event can be a read or a
write operation on any address space location. Event breakpoint stops
execution <
i>after<
/i> specified event occurred. <
/p>
<
p>Every breakpoint can be <
b>fix<
/b>
(permanent
) or <
b>dynamic<
/b>
(temporary). Dynamic breakpoints are automatically removed when they
reached. Some commands place dynamic fetch breakpoints into the code, for
example <
a href="#g"><
b>go<
/b><
/a> or <
a href="#n"><
b>next<
/b><
/a>. <
/p>
<
p>A <
b>hit number<
/b> can be associated to any breakpoint. This hit number
specifies how many times the breakpoint must be hit before it causes the
execution to stop. This hit number is
1 by default. <

<
/a> Set fetch or event breakpoint. The command specifies if the breakpoint
will be fix
(<
b>break<
/b>
) or dynamic
(temporary
) (<
b>tbreak<
/b>
).
<
p>Fetch or event breakpoint can be defined. First form defines fetch while
second form defines event breakpoint. <
/p>
<
dt>Fetch breakpoint <
/dt>
<
dd>First parameter specifies address where the breakpoint must be placed
to. It should be address of an instruction. <
br>
Second parameter is optional and it specifies the hit number. It is 1 by
<
dt>Event breakpoint <
/dt>
<
dd>First parameter specifies
class name of memory where we are going to
watch
for en event.
Class names of memories can be
checked by <
a href="cmd_general.html#info_memory">info
Second parameter specifies the event. It can be <
b>r<
/b> to specify <
b>read<
/b>
operation or <
b>w<
/b> which means <
b>write<
/b> operation. <
br>
Remaining parameters are address of watched memory location and an
optional hit number
(1 by default
). <

/a> Delete fetch breakpoint. Parameter specifies address of breakpoint. If
there is no breakpoint specified at given address this command prints out a
warning message.
<
p>If parameter is not given then breakpoint at current PC will be deleted
if it exists. If more than one address is specified then all breakpoints
at specified addresses will be deleted. <
