Executing to a Selected Line
If you don’t need to stop execution every time execution reaches a specific line, you can tell TotalView to run your program to a selected line or machine instruction. After selecting the line on which you want the program to stop, invoke one of the eight Run To commands defined within the GUI. These commands are on the Group, Process, and Thread menus.
Executing to a selected line is discussed in greater depth in Chapter 26, Group, Process, and Thread Control .
If your program reaches a breakpoint while running to a selected line, TotalView stops at that breakpoint.
If your program calls recursive functions, you can select a nested stack frame in the Stack Trace Pane. When you do this, TotalView determines where to stop execution by looking at the following:
The frame pointer (FP) of the selected stack frame. The selected source line or instruction.
