Glossary<br />

ACTION POINT: A debugger feature that lets a user request that program<br />

execution stop under certain conditions. Action points include breakpoints,<br />

watchpoints, eval points, and barriers.<br />

ACTION POINT IDENTIFIER: A unique integer ID associated with an action<br />

point.<br />

ACTIVATION RECORD: See stack frame.<br />

ADDRESS SPACE: A region of memory that contains code and data from a<br />

program. One or more threads can run in an address space. A process normally<br />

contains an address space.<br />

ADDRESSING EXPRESSION: A set of instructions that tell <strong>TotalView</strong> where to<br />

find information. These expressions are only used within the type transformation<br />

facility on page 410.<br />

AFFECTED P/T SET: The set of process and threads that are affected by the<br />

command. For most commands, this is identical to the target P/T set, but<br />

in some cases it might include additional threads. (See “p/t (process/thread)<br />

set” on page 405 for more information.)<br />

AGGREGATE DATA: A collection of data elements. For example, a structure<br />

or an array is an aggregate.<br />

AGGREGATED OUTPUT: The CLI compresses output from multiple threads<br />

when they would be identical except for the P/T identifier.<br />

API: Application Program Interface. The formal interface by which programs<br />

communicate with libraries.<br />

ARENA: A specifier that indicates the processes, threads, and groups upon<br />

which a command executes. Arena specifiers are p (process), t (thread), g<br />

(group), d (default), and a (all).<br />

ARRAY SECTION: In Fortran, a portion of an array that is also an array. The<br />

elements of this array is a new unnamed array object with its own indices.<br />

Compare this with a <strong>TotalView</strong> array slice on page 398.<br />
