Setting and Running to a Breakpoint (Action Point)
TotalView uses the term action point. A breakpoint is simply a type of action point that stops the execution of the processes and threads that reach it.
This section uses the expression example to set breakpoints.
NOTE: These procedures on working with action points can be performed independently of the other sections in this chapter (which starts at Basic Debugging), but you must first load the program as described in Load the Program to Debug.
