The make_actions macro reads a source file one line at a time. As it reads
these lines, the regular expressions look for comments that begin with
/* STOP, /* EVAL, and /* CMD. After parsing the comment, it sets a breakpoint
at a stop line or an eval point at an eval line, or executes a command at
a cmd line.
Using eval points can be confusing because eval point syntax differs from
that of Tcl. In this example, the $stop function is built into the CLI. Stated
differently, you can end up with Tcl code that also contains C, C++, Fortran,
and TotalView functions, variables, and statements. Fortunately, you
only use this kind of mixture in a few places and you’ll know what you’re
doing.
