CVD(1)CVD(1)NAMEcvd - The WorkShop Debugger
SYNOPSIScvd [-P processname] [-pid pid] [-host host] [-pcsnum num] [executable [corefile]]
DESCRIPTIONcvd invokes the WorkShop Debugger.
The executable used with the debugger is produced by specifying an
appropriate option (usually -g) to the compiler. When the executable
parameter is specified, the WorkShop Debugger will be invoked with the
specified executable as the target. Breakpoints and other traps may then
be set on the executable before running the program.
If a corefile is specified, or if the file core exists in the current
directory, the WorkShop Debugger
can be used to look at the state of the program when it faulted.
Running the WorkShop Debugger
The WorkShop debugger is invoked with one or more of the following
arguments:
-P processname
Debug the running process with the specified name.
-pid pid
Debug the running process with the specified process id.
-host host
Specify the remote host where the specified process is running or
where the specified executable should be executed. By default,
programs are executed on the local host.
-pcsnum num
Connect to a cvpcs running with the -d flag. The num is the
negative of the port number announced by the cvpcs during startup.
For additional information, please consult the on-line help system or the
CASEVision/WorkShop User's Guide.
Recording WorkShop Performance Experiments
The WorkShop debugger is also used to record performance experiments for
the WorkShop performance analyzer. To do so, bring up cvd on the
executable, and use the ``Perf'' entry on the menu bar to select a
performance task. See the CASEVision/WorkShop User's Guide, part IV for
information about the WorkShop performance tools, or see the cvperf(1)
man page for further information.
