Seeing Attached Process States

TotalView uses the letters shown in the following table to indicate process and thread state. (These letters are in the Status column in the Root Window, as the figure in the previous section shows.)

 

State Code	State Description
blank	Exited or never created
B	At breakpoint
E	Error reason
H	Held
K	In kernel
L	(cell only) Loose—Indicates slave SPU threads that are not held and not currently bound to PPU threads
M	Mixed
R	Running
T	Stopped reason
W	At watchpoint

The error state usually indicates that your program received a fatal signal, such as SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, or SIGFPE, from the operating system. See “Handling Signals” for information on controlling how TotalView handles signals that your program receives.

CLI: The CLI prints out a word indicating the state; for example, “breakpoint.”
