NextGen TotalView for HPC User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Chapter 5 Setting and Managing Action Points (Breakpoints) : Breakpoints : Pending Breakpoints : Conflicting Breakpoints
Conflicting Breakpoints
TotalView can place only one action point on an address. Because the breakpoints you specify are actually expressions, the locations to which these expressions evaluate can overlap or even be the same. Sometimes, and this most often occurs with pending breakpoints in dynamically loaded libraries, TotalView cannot predict when action points will overlap. If they do, TotalView enables only one of the action points and disables all others that evaluate to the same address. The action point that TotalView enables is that with the lowest actionpoint ID. The other overlapping action points are marked as "conflicted" in the Action Points pane and dactions output.
