Setting Breakpoints at Locations

Totalview® for HPC User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Chapter 8 Setting Action Points : Setting Breakpoints and Barriers : Setting Breakpoints at Locations

You can set or delete a breakpoint at a specific function or source-line number without having to first find the function or source line in the Source Pane. Do this by entering a line number or function name in the Action Point > At Location dialog.

Figure 98 – Action Point > At Location Dialog Box

TotalView sets a breakpoint at the location. If you enter a function name, TotalView sets the breakpoint at the function’s first executable line. In either case, if a breakpoint already exists at a location, TotalView deletes it.

CLI: dbreak sets a breakpoint

ddelete deletes a breakpoint

This dialog also allows the creation of a pending breakpoint. See "Pending Breakpoints".

For detailed information about the kinds of information you can enter in this dialog box, see dbreak in the TotalView for HPC Reference Guide.
