Setting Search Paths
Make your changes by selecting one of the radio buttons described in the
following table.
Button Description
Error Stops the process, places it in the error state, and displays an
error in the title bar of the Process Window. If you have also
selected the Stop control group on error signal check box,
TotalView also stops all related processes. Select this button
for severe error conditions, such as SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.
Stop Stops the process and places it in the stopped state. Select
this button if you want TotalView to handle this signal as it
would a SIGSTOP signal.
Resend Sends the signal back to the process. This setting lets you
test your program’s signal handling routines. TotalView sets
the SIGKILL and SIGHUP signals to Resend since most programs
have handlers to handle program termination.
Ignore Discards the signal and continues the process. The
process does not know that something raised a signal.
Do not use Ignore for fatal signals such as SIGSEGV and SIGBUS. If you do, TotalView
can get caught in a signal/resignal loop with your program; the signal immediately
reoccurs because the failing instruction repeatedly re-executes.
Starting TotalView
Setting Search Paths
EXECUTABLE_PATH Variable
If your source code, executable, and object files reside in different directories,
set search paths for these directories with the File > Search Path command.
You do not need to use this command if these directories are
already named in your environment’s PATH variable.
CLI: dset EXECUTABLE_PATH
These search paths apply to all processes that you’re debugging. (See
Figure 64 on page 72.)
TotalView searches the following directories in order:
1 The current working directory (.) and the directories you specify with the
File > Search Path command, in the exact order you enter them.
2 The directory name hint. This is the directory that is within the debugging
information generated by your compiler.
3 If you entered a full path name for the executable when you started
TotalView, TotalView searches this directory.
