Hello, I have a question about the implementation of watchpoints in Solaris. This blog: http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock/date/20040713 suggests that watchpoints in Solaris 10 are implemented in software. This article http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/demistify_watch_points.html on the other hand, says that AMD and Intel architectures support hardware watchpoints.
If I run my code that uses watchpoints on x86/Solaris system, will hardware watchpoints be used? If so, will this be automatic, or will I need to enable them? Do any SPARC machines support hardware watchpoints? Thank you. -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org
