Breakpoint in Version 6.2

Ravisinha
Ravisinha over 15 years ago
Hello All, Currently i am using specman version 6.2, in this version what i have noticed is when i am trying to put a breakpoint inside the TCM or Method specman giving an warning saying that "Breakpoints can be put only in TCM or Method definition". That means now i am able to put breakpoint only on the TCM definition and not inside that, but when 1 year back i was using specman version 5.1 that time i was able to set breakpoint anywhere inside the TCM definition. So my question is specman doesn't support this feature now or i am missing something while configuration. Thanks Ravi Sinha

    Hi,
    This sounds like you're running with compiled code and not interpreted code. Compiled code has the advantage of executing a bit faster, but the disadvantage of losing some debugging visibility (just like compiling software with debug options has a performance impact). Try loading your code in Specman, and you will be able to set the breakpoint mid-method as well.

    Cheers, Hilmar
