Setting Breakpoints and Barriers Figure 234: File > Preferences: Action Points Page This dialog box provides the following controls for setting breakpoints: � When Hit, Stop When your thread hits a breakpoint, TotalView can also stop the thread’s control group or the process in which it is running. CLI: dset STOP_ALL dbreak –p | –g | –t � Plant in share group If you select this check box, TotalView enables the breakpoint in all members of this thread’s share group at the same time. If not, you must individually enable and disable breakpoints in each member of the share group. CLI: dset SHARE_ACTION_POINT The Processes button lets you indicate which process in a multi-process program will have enabled breakpoints. If Plant in share group is selected, TotalView does not enable this button because you told TotalView to set the breakpoint in all of the processes. You can preset many of the properties in this dialog box by selecting the File > Preferences command. Use the Action Points page to set action point preferences. You can find additional information about this dialog box in the online Help. If you select the Evaluate button in the Action Point > Properties Dialog Box, you can add an expression to the action point. This expression is 360 Chapter 16: Setting Action Points
Setting Breakpoints and Barriers attached to control and share group members. See “Using Programming Language Elements” on page 385 for more information. If you’re trying to synchronize your program’s threads, you need to set a barrier point. For more information, see “Setting Barrier Points” on page 362. Setting Breakpoints When Using the fork()/execve() Functions You must link with the dbfork library before debugging programs that call the fork() and execve() functions. See “Compiling Programs” on page 51. Debugging Processes That Call the fork() Function By default, TotalView places breakpoints in all processes in a share group. (For information on share groups, see “Organizing Chaos” on page 22.) When any process in the share group reaches a breakpoint, TotalView stops all processes in the control group. This means that TotalView stops the control group that contains the share group. This control can contain more than one share group. To override these defaults: 1 Dive into the line number to display the Action Point > Properties Dialog Box. 2 Clear the Plant in share group check box and make sure that the Group radio button is selected. CLI: dset SHARE_ACTION_POINT false Debugging Processes that Call the execve() Function Shared breakpoints are not set in children that have different executables. To set the breakpoints for children that call the execve() function: 1 Set the breakpoints and breakpoint options in the parent and the children that do not call the execve() function. 2 Start the multi-process program by displaying the Group > Go command. When the first child calls the execve() function, TotalView displays the following message: Process name has exec’d name. Do you want to stop it now? CLI: G 3 Answer Yes. TotalView opens a Process Window for the process. (If you answer No, you won’t have an opportunity to set breakpoints.) 4 Set breakpoints for the process. After you set breakpoints for the first child using this executable, TotalView won’t prompt when other children call the execve() function. TotalView Users Guide: version 8.7 361
