Syntax

<string>
|
ALL

Modifiers
Description
Use the
create-breakpoints
 action to specify problems in a result that you want to investigate with the debugger.
This is a three-step process.
  1. Run a
    collect
     action using a memory or threading analysis type.
    Run a
    create-breakpoints
     action to add breakpoints for specified problems to the result of the previous
    collect
     action.
  2. Run another
    collect
     action, using the same analysis type. Make sure the original result is used as the baseline result, and use the
    debug-this
     action-option to enable the debugger.
The debugger is not supported for the
mi1
 analysis type.
Example
Perform a memory analysis and save the result as
r000mi3
. 
$ inspxe-cl -collect mi3 -result-dir r000mi3 -- ./a.out
This command creates a breakpoint for problem P10 in the result from the previous analysis. 
$ inspxe-cl -create-breakpoints P10 -result-dir r000mi3
This command re-runs the analysis in debug mode. The debugger breaks at the P10 breakpoint that was created in the previous step. 
$ inspxe-cl -collect mi3 -debug-this -baseline-result r000mi3 -result-dir r001mi3 -- ./a.out
