Setting Breakpoints and Barriers<br />

If you set machine-level breakpoints on one or more instructions generated<br />

from a single source line, and then display source code in the Source<br />

Pane, <strong>TotalView</strong> displays an icon (see Figure 221 on page 350) on the<br />

line number. To see the actual breakpoint, you must redisplay assembler<br />

instructions.<br />

When a process reaches a breakpoint, <strong>TotalView</strong> does the following:<br />

� Suspends the process.<br />

� Displays the PC arrow icon ( ) over the stop sign to indicate that the<br />

PC is at the breakpoint.<br />

� Displays At Breakpoint in the Process Window title bar and other windows.<br />

� Updates the Stack Trace and Stack Frame Panes and all Variable Windows.<br />

Setting Breakpoints for Multiple Processes<br />

In all programs, including multi-process programs, you can set breakpoints<br />

in parent and child processes before you start the program and while the<br />

program is executing. Do this using the Action Point > Properties Dialog Box.<br />

(See Figure 233.)<br />
