Chapter 8 Setting Action Points
In TotalView, breakpoints are called "action points." TotalView has four kinds of action points:
• A breakpoint stops execution of processes and threads that reach it.
• A barrier point synchronizes a set of threads or processes at a location.
• An eval point executes a code fragment when it is reached.
• A watchpoint monitors a location in memory and stops execution when it changes.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• “About Action Points”
• “Setting Breakpoints and Barriers”
• “Defining Eval Points and Conditional Breakpoints”
• “Using Watchpoints”
• “Saving Action Points to a File”
