DEBUG and PROCESS_DEBUG_ Procedures
Invoke H-Series Debuggers
DEBUG and PROCESS_DEBUG_ Procedures Invoke H-Series
Debuggers
The DEBUG and PROCESS_DEBUG_ procedures are changed to invoke one of the
new debugging tools on H-series systems. The H-series debugging tools are Visual
Inspect and Native Inspect for TNS/E native processes, and Visual Inspect and Inspect
for TNS processes. The debugging tool invoked depends on the execution mode (TNS
or native), debugger availability, and the setting of the INSPECT process attribute (see
Process Attributes on page 3-2 for details).
Procedures Having New Return Values
The following procedures return new values in the H-series RVUs.
New Return Value for PROCESSORTYPE
The PROCESSORTYPE procedure returns a value indicating the processor type of a
specified system and processor. For H-series systems, processor type 10 is added,
indicating an NSE-A or NSE-P processor.
New Return Values for PROCESSOR_GETNAME_
The PROCESSOR_GETNAME_ procedure returns a processor’s type and model. On
H-series systems, new return values are defined as follows:
•
The processor names NSE-A and NSE-P are added to the values returned by the
name parameter.
•
The processor type 10 is added to the values returned by the cpu-type-out
parameter, indicating an NSE-P or NSE-A processor.
•
The processor models 0 (NSE-P processor) and 1 (NSE-A processor) are added to
the values returned by the cpu-model-out parameter.
Note. It is possible to configure a system with no debuggers. If a system is configured with no
debuggers, an event that would have invoked a debugger is, instead, either ignored or
generates a signal.
