Code and Data Breakpoints

configure the environment any way you want. Note that the commands in the

INSPCSTM file override those in the INSPLOCL file because Inspect processes the

INSPCSTM file after the INSPLOCL file. When debugging PATHWAY requestor

programs, your logon volume and subvolume may differ from the owner of the process

ID of the TCP’s volume and subvolume.

Code and Data Breakpoints

Inspect lets you set breakpoints at both code and data locations within your program.

In addition, Inspect lets you select what type of access (write or read/write or change)

triggers a data breakpoint. Note that write access is not available on TNS/R systems.

Conditional Breakpoints

Inspect lets you limit a breakpoint so that it suspends program execution only if certain

conditions exist. This enables you to avoid repeated execution interruptions before

arriving at the location of a bug.

Distributed Debugging Across a Network

Inspect enables you to debug applications whose components are distributed across

an EXPAND network. The distributed components can include:

Processes or programs

Source files

Program (object) files

Debugging Programs Executed on TNS/R Systems

Inspect supports the debugging of TNS, accelerated TNS, and native TNS/R programs

on TNS/R systems.

Debugging Programs Executed on TNS/E Systems

Inspect supports the debugging of emulated TNS programs on TNS/E systems, in

addition to snapshots of TNS/R native processes. Emulated TNS programs are TNS

programs that either have been accelerated beforehand with the TNS Object Code

Accelerator (OCA) or run in TNS interpreted mode.

Debugging Programs in the OSS Environment

Inspect supports the debugging of programs in the Open System Services (OSS)

environment. Processes that run in the OSS environment use the OSS application

program interface. Interactive users of the OSS environment use the OSS shell for the

command interpreter. Debugging support in the OSS environment includes OSS file

descriptors, signals, and program IDs (PIDs).
