Saving Breakpoints
The Debugger provides a way to store all defined breakpoints of the currently loaded
application (
.ABS
file) into the matching breakpoints file. The matching file has the
same name as the loaded
.ABS
file but its extension is
.BPT
(for example, the
FIBO.ABS
file has a breakpoint file called
FIBO.BPT
). This file is generated in the
same directory as the
.ABS
file. This is a text file, in which a sequence of commands is
stored. This file contains the following information.
• The
Save & Restore on load
flag (
Save & Restore on load
checkbox in the
Controlpoints Configuration Window (Breakpoints Tab)
). The
SAVEBP
command
is used:
SAVEBP
on
when checked,
SAVEBP
off
when unchecked.
NOTE
For more information about this, see the
SAVEBP
command.
• List of defined breakpoints: the
BS
command is used, as shown in
Listing 4.1
.
Listing 4.1 Breakpoint (.BPT) File Syntax
BS address [P|T[ state]][;cond=”condition”[ state]]
[;cmd=”command”[ state]][;cur=current[ inter=interval]]
[;cdSz=codeSize[ srSz=sourceSize]]
In the code above:
The
address
value is the address where the breakpoint is to be set. This address is
specified in ANSI C format. The
address
value can also be replaced by an
expression
as
shown in the example below.
P
specifies the breakpoint as a permanent breakpoint.
T
specifies the breakpoint as a temporary breakpoint. A temporary breakpoint is deleted
once it is reached.
The state is
E
,
D or C
where
E
is for enabled (state is set by default to
E
if nothing is
specified),
D
is for disabled and
C
for Continue.
The
condition
is an
expression.
It matches the
Condition
field in the
Controlpoints
Configuration Window (Breakpoints Tab)
for conditional breakpoint.
The
command
is any debugger command. It matches the
Command
field in the
Controlpoints Configuration Window (Breakpoints Tab)
, for associated commands.
The
current
value is an
expression.
It matches the
Current
field (
Counter
) in the
Controlpoints Configuration Window (Breakpoints Tab)
, for counting breakpoints.
The
interval
is an
expression.
It matches the
Interval
field (
Counter
) in the
Controlpoints Configuration Window (Breakpoints Tab)
, for counting breakpoints.
