Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding software breakpoints in Unix/Linux. What I
would like to know is, if such a feature is available in the first
place.
Coming from a Windows stream, I know Windows has an API called
'DebugBreak()', which interrupts the debugging process. This is
basically assembly instruction 'IC' ( I hope I am right ) which sends a
TRAP on the x86.
Has Unix/Linux any equivalent ? A break point could be set using the
asm( .. ) instr, but what about portability onto other platforms ?
