Syntax of Native Inspect Commands
Native Inspect Manual—528122-003
3-7
Syntax of native-address
*address
specifies the line containing the specified program address. address can be
any decimal or hexadecimal expression; the format is assumed to be decimal
by default.
Syntax of native-address
native-address
is a 32-bit or 64-bit address on the TNS/E system. native-address can be
specified in these formats:
•
hex (for example, 0x120001DC0)
•
decimal (for example, 48331845824)
•
octal (for example, 044000016700)
If the address is in the range of 0 through 0xFFFFFFFF, it is sign-extended to form
a 64-bit address.
Example: 0x80000 & 0x72000000
If the address is greater than 0xFFFFFFFF, it is treated as a 64-bit address, and no
sign extension is done.
Example: 0xFFFFC5000000
The output format for native-address is 0xnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn with leading
zeros included.
Syntax of llce
llce
is a low-level conditional expression, used for setting conditional breakpoints with
the break command, tbreak command
and mab command.
Low-level conditional expressions are evaluated by the operating system rather
than the debugger, yielding faster performance when evaluating expressions.
Their capabilities are more limited, however, than those of high-level conditions,
which you can use with the condition command
.
The format is:
-e native-address [& mask] operator value
mask
is a 64-bit mask that will be ANDed with the contents of native-address
before the test is performed with value.
