The Debug Registers provide for a sub-DTRACE level of event tracing: instruction fetches, instruction execution, and also storage alteration. Powerful debug facilities, functionally similar to IBM mainframe Program Even Recording (implemented in z/OS SLIP/Per system commands, and z/VM CP TRACE commands).
Additionally, outside of Intel, Has Sparc architecture ever implemented such Debug Register functionality? I recently found that Microsoft has implemented Debug Register functionality in their 'ba' command, documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc266572.aspx I don't know how long the 'ba' command has been in existence, I just found out about it recently. I don't know if I will be emailed a reply via this thread, , so if possible, please send a response to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you.
