Executing to a Selected Line
If the PC is in assembler code—this can happen, for example, if you halt
your program while it’s executing in a library—a Next operation executes
the next instruction. If you want to execute out of the assembler code so
your back in your code, select the Out command. You might need to select
Out a couple of times until your back to where you want to be.
Executing to a Selected Line
If you don’t need to stop execution every time execution reaches a specific
line, you can tell TotalView to run your program to a selected line or
machine instruction. After selecting the line on which you want the program
to stop, invoke one of the eight Run To commands defined within the
GUI. These commands are on the Group, Process, and Thread menus.
CLI: dfocus ... duntil
Executing to a selected line is discussed in greater depth in Chapter 13,
“Using Groups, Processes, and Threads,” on page 251.
If your program reaches a breakpoint while running to a selected line,
TotalView stops at that breakpoint.
If your program calls recursive functions, you can select a nested stack
frame in the Stack Trace Pane. When you do this, TotalView determines
where to stop execution by looking at the following:
� The frame pointer (FP) of the selected stack frame.
� The selected source line or instruction.
CLI: dup and ddown
Executing Out of a Function
You can step your program out of a function by using the Out commands.
The eight Out commands in the GUI are located on the Group, Process, and
Thread menus.
CLI: dfocus ... dout
