Notice how the and and or operators are used in these expressions. The
way in which TotalView computes the results of an expression is identical
to the way it computes values at an eval point. For more information, see
“Defining Eval Points and Conditional Breakpoints” on page 366.
Using Filter Comparisons
TotalView provides several different ways to filter array information. For
example, the following two filters display the same array items:
> 100
$value > 100
The following filters display the same array items:
>0: 0 && $value < 100
The only difference is that the first method is easier to type than the second,
so you’re more likely to use the second method when you’re creating
more complicated expressions.
Sorting Array Data
TotalView lets you sort the displayed array data into ascending or descending
order. (It does not sort the actual data.) To sort (or remove the sort),
click the Value label.
� The first time you click, TotalView sorts the array’s values into ascending
order.
� The next time you click on the header, TotalView reverses the order, sorting
the array’s values into descending order.
� If you click again on the header, TotalView returns the array to its unsorted
order.
Here is an example that sorts an array into descending order:
When you sort an array’s values, you are just rearranging the information
that’s displayed in the Variable Window. Sorting does not change the order
