Debugging Processes That Call the fork() Function

TotalView : TotalView User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Setting and Managing Action Points (Breakpoints) : Breakpoints : Setting Breakpoints When Using the fork()/execve() Functions : Debugging Processes That Call the fork() Function

By default, TotalView places breakpoints in all processes in a share group. (See Program Execution and Share Groups.) 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, modify the breakpoint’s width in the action point’s properties, Modify Breakpoint dialog box.

CLI: dset SHARE_ACTION_POINT false
