The WATCHPOINT UTILITY is an Internal Use Only debugging tool that
maintains a history of modification that are made to a particular
location in shared system space. The WATCHPOINT command
interpreter (WP) issues $QIO request to the WATCHPOINT driver
(WPDRIVER) from commands that follow the standard rules of DCL
grammar.
Commands may be entered at the watchpoint> prompt to set, delete,
and obtain information from watchpoints.
Before invoking the WATCHPOINT command interpreter (WP), or
loading the WATCHPOINT driver one must first set the SYSGEN
MAXBUF dynamic parameter to 64000. This can be accomplished
as follows:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
SYSGEN> SET MAXBUF 64000
SYSGEN> WRITE ACTIVE
SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT
SYSGEN> EXIT
Before invoking the WATCHPOINT command interpreter (WP), the
WATCHPOINT driver (WPDRIVER), must first be installed with SYSMAN.
This can be accomplished as follows:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> IO CONNECT WPA0/DRIVER=SYS$WPDRIVER/NOADAPTER
SYSMAN> EXIT
The WATCHPOINT command interpreter (WP) can then be invoked with the
command:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:WP
Commands may then be entered at the watchpoint> prompt to set,
delete,and obtain information from Watchpoints.
Some of the WP help screens as well as the output to the WP Utility
are best viewed using a terminal with a character width of 132.
This can be accomplished as follows:
$ SET TERM/WID=132
