A Path-Conservative Finite Volume Method for Magnetohydrodynamics¶

Abstract¶

A new path-conservative finite volume method is introduced for the solution of the equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The scheme is simple to implement, robust, and can be extended to higher order accuracy using a suitable reconstruction and Runge-Kutta time stepping. The numerical method is well-balanced for a wide range of hydrostatic equilibrium states.

Introduction¶

Magnetohydrodynamics is a field that describes the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids, such as plasmas, liquid metals, and saltwater, in the presence of a magnetic field. The governing equations are a complex system of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations, for which the development of stable and accurate numerical algorithms is crucial.

Numerical Method¶

Variable	Description
( \rho )	Density
( \mathbf{u} )	Velocity vector
( \mathbf{B} )	Magnetic field vector
( p )	Pressure
( E )	Total energy

The integral form of the MHD equations is given by:

[ \frac{\partial U}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot F = 0 ]

where ( U ) is the vector of conserved variables and ( F ) is the flux tensor.

Flux Calculation¶

The numerical flux is calculated using a Riemann solver which solves the local wave structure:

[ F(U) = \frac{1}{2} \left( F(U_L) + F(U_R) - \left| A \right| (U_R - U_L) \right) ]

Results¶

The proposed method shows good agreement with analytical solutions and demonstrates stability for a variety of test problems.

Conclusion¶

A path-conservative finite volume method has been successfully developed for ideal magnetohydrodynamics, showing significant promise due to its simplicity and reliability. Further research is needed to extend this approach to more complex MHD models.

THE PRODUCT¶

This manual describes the following products:

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER	ND-10335G (ND-500)
	ND-10336F (ND-100)

NEW IN THE G VERSION OF THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

This version of the Symbolic Debugger is prepared for the new domain-format supported by version I of the Linkage-Loader.

THE READER¶

This manual will be of interest to programmers who are testing programs written in any language whose compiler is able to make information for the Symbolic Debugger.

PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE¶

The reader should be able to successfully compile and load a program in one of the following languages: Ada, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal or PLANC. If it is necessary to debug RT-programs, ability to use the RT-Loader is required. Advanced programming experience is a precondition for use of some of the Symbolic Debugger commands.

THE MANUAL¶

This manual describes how to use the Symbolic Debugger. The commands are described in detail. Examples are from both the ND-100 background and RT Debugger, and the ND-500 Debugger. Changes from the previous version are shown with change bars in the margin.

NEW IN THIS MANUAL¶

Changed commands in the G version:

CHECK-OUT-MODE
GUARD
SCOPE

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 6¶

New Commands¶

The CHECK-OUT-MODE command is changed to give an improved coverage check facility. After issuing the CHECK-OUT-MODE command, the DUMP-LOG command will give the coverage ratio for each routine, and the total coverage for the application.

The GUARD command has been extended to support guard on composite items (arrays etc.).

The SCOPE command is enhanced to give source file information.

New Commands¶

RESET-GUARD
LOOK-AT-LIST
USING-PREFIX

The RESET-GUARD command removes the GUARD control.

The LOOK-AT-LIST command makes it possible to inspect a linked list (PLANC or PASCAL).

The USING-PREFIX command enables you to inspect variables inside a PASCAL "WITH" clause, or a PLANC "USING" clause.

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

INTRODUCTION¶

1 INTRODUCTION¶

The Symbolic Debugger is an interactive tool for testing programs written in higher-level languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL, PASCAL, and PLANC.

If there is one or more Debugger segments on the segment file in your version of SINTRAN III, the Symbolic Debugger is available on your ND-100. One program can be debugged per Debugger segment, so that if SINTRAN has three such segments, three programs or less can be debugged simultaneously.

You can debug ND-100 multi-segment programs, but you have to be logged in as user SYSTEM to be able to do this.

The Debugger can also debug RT-programs on the ND-100. In this case, only one person (who must be logged in as user SYSTEM or RT) can use it at a time.

There are no such limitations on the ND-500.

The Symbolic Debugger contains a set of powerful commands which enable you to control the execution of your program. For example, break or step-points can be set to stop the program under certain conditions. You can then inspect or modify program variables, and continue execution until the next break or step-point. In this way, it is possible to find many program bugs in one run. It is also possible, for instance, to detect which areas of a program have not been executed, and to change the path and frequency of subroutine calls.

The Symbolic Debugger version G on the ND-500/5000 also contains a trap-handler system (not using exception-lib). This gives higher security when debugging FORTRAN and EXCEPTION-LIB systems (lower chance of interference between debugger and application).

The commands available are listed on the following pages.

1.1 Symbolic Debugger Command Summary¶

The Symbolic Debugger commands may be abbreviated, even more than SINTRAN commands. The reason is that some of them have priority in addition to their names. (Commands with priority are marked with + in the table below.)

Command	Description

Page 14¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Introduction¶

The priority works as follows: If you type a D as your command, that could be an abbreviation for both the DISPLAY and the DUMP commands. But instead of telling you that the command D is ambiguous, the Symbolic Debugger will execute the DISPLAY command, which has priority. (As you see, it is marked with a + below.) To do a DUMP, you must type a DU, which makes it clear that this cannot be a DISPLAY command.

Here is a table of all the commands available in the various Symbolic Debuggers. Error messages are found in chapter 6, page 113.

N	R	N	Commands, with parameters. Parameters within `< ... >` will be prompted for, while parameters within `(< ... >)` will not be prompted for. Commands marked with a + have higher priority (see above) than the others.

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

2 USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

This chapter will show basic use of the three different debuggers, including brief presentations of compilation and loading. For detailed descriptions of the various compilers and loaders, please consult the manuals that deal with each individual product.

The ND debuggers contain many useful commands, as you saw in the table in the preceding chapter. An overview of advanced features is given on page 24.

You need, however, only to understand four commands to use the debuggers:

1) BREAK \<routine, label or line>

instructs the debugger to stop execution of your program before code belonging to a subroutine, following a label or a line number is executed

2) RUN

starts execution of your program. You will not come back to the debugger before a breakpoint is reached

3) DISPLAY \<item>

tells the debugger to show you what values the variables in your program have at the current breakpoint (i.e., before the execution of the instruction immediately after the breakpoint)

4) EXIT

terminates the debugging session

In addition, you need a listing of the source code of the program, for instance the listing generated by the compiler.

We will assume that all files used in the following examples exist before the examples are run. If you do not know how to create files with the "(file name)" notation, talk to somebody who knows, or read about it in the SINTRAN III documentation.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 20¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

The examples use the following FORTRAN program:

program BUBBLE
integer ToSort(0:9)
data ToSort/9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0/
integer i, j, k
do 100 i = 1, 9
  do 200 j = 9, 1, -1
    if (ToSort(j) .lt. ToSort(j-1)) then
      k = ToSort(j-1)
      ToSort(j-1) = ToSort(j)
      ToSort(j) = k
    endif
200 continue
100 continue
end

Here, the numbers to the left are not part of the program. They are line numbers, as generated by compilers, pretty-printers, etc. These line numbers are used extensively as location references when you debug programs, together with subroutine or module names etc.

The program sorts the integer array named ToSort, which has ten elements containing integer numbers. The numbers are in reverse order from the outset, but the program will put them in the right order. We use the debuggers to see how the numbers wander through the array as the sorting proceeds. The program does not contain any errors. You will learn to use the debuggers to observe the execution of a program, and need no errors to do that.

In the examples that follow, your input to the computer is underlined, and a ↵ denotes the final carriage return for each of your commands. Comments on the examples are enclosed in boxes near the right margin,

like this one. (You will see more such boxes later on!)

As the example is finished, a _ (underscore) shows where the cursor is placed.

2.1 A Debugging Session¶

Here you see how you use a debugger to observe the BUBBLE program. This is exactly how the debugging session will appear when you use the ND-100 and the ND-500 debuggers. The next three subsections will show you how you prepare a program for debugging with the three different debuggers.

When using the RT-Debugger, the procedure for restarting after a breakpoint has been reached is more complicated than is shown here, for natural reasons. We will deal with that in the section about the RT-Debugger on page 18.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 21¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

In what follows, we presume that the program has been compiled with the Debug option on and loaded as an ordinary program, and that you have started the appropriate Debugger to look at the program. You will see how this is done on page 12 for the ND-100 and on page 17 for the ND-500.

This is what you do after you have started either the ND-100 or the ND-500 Debugger for your program.

Breakpoints and Display¶

Command	Action
`*break 7`	First set a BREAK at line 7, then ask the Debugger to run the program until it hits the break. At the breakpoint, display the control variables for the loops and the array ToSort.
`*run`	Then put breakpoint at line 10, to see if execution reaches it and to display the variables.
Break at `BUBBLE.7`	*display `i,1,j,ToSort` I=1 J=9 TOSORT=9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
`*break 10`	Also look at the variable k, which is used for intermediate storage as array contents are swapped in neighbouring array elements.
`*run`
Break at `BUBBLE.10`	*display `i,1,k,ToSort` I=1 J=9 K=1 TOSORT=9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 0 0
`*break 12`	Move the break to the end of the innermost loop.
`*run`
Break at `BUBBLE.12`	*display `i,1,ToSort` I=1 J=9 TOSORT=9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 0 1
`*run`	The two last elements in ToSort have exchanged places. The smallest integer in the array, 0, has moved one position towards the first element in the array, which is where it should end up if the program works. One more execution of the loop moves the 0 one step further to the left. Move the breakpoint to the end of the outermost loop. Here, we have used the ultimate command abbreviations!

Using the Symbolic Debugger¶

TOSORT=0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Break at BUBBLE.14
*d i.l.ToSort
I=10
J=8
TOSORT=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
*exit
e_

Two complete executions of the outer loop show that both the smallest elements in the array have been moved to their correct locations. Move the breakpoint to the last line in the program.
run it, and you will see that the array is sorted in the correct sequence. Leave the Debugger.

2.2 Debugging an ND-100 Background Program¶

The following :MODE-file will compile the BUBBLE program and generate debug information for the ND-100 Debugger. (If you don't know what a :MODE-file is, talk to somebody who does, or read the SINTRAN documentation.)

@fortran-100
debug
compile fortran-bubble terminal fortran-bubble
exit
@bfr-linker
program-file fortran-bubble
load fortran-bubble fortran-2bank
exit

After this :MODE-file has been run, just type

@debugger fortran-bubble

on your terminal, and you are ready to debug, as shown on page 11.

This is how you prepare the BUBBLE program for use with the ND-100 Debugger, shown in detail.

@fortran-100
ND-100/NORD-10 ANSI 77 FORTRAN COMPILER - MAY 9, 1986
FTN: separate off

| Forcing the compiler to generate one-bank code. You may want to make two-bank code instead - then you must load the FORTRAN-2BANK library afterwards. |

FIN: debug¶

This is the command that tells the compiler to make debug information for your program.

FIN: compile fortran-bubble terminal fortran-bubble¶

The source code is taken from the file FORTRAN-BUBBLE:SYMB, output from the compilation is directed to the terminal, and the object code is put on the file FORTRAN-BUBBLE:BRF.

ND-100/NORD-10 ANSI 77 FORTRAN COMPILER - MAY 9, 1986
SOURCE FILE: FORTRAN-BUBBLE:SYMB

1*    program bubble
2*    integer ToSort(0:9)
3*
4*    ...
      This is the output from the compiler, telling you how the compilation proceeds. The line numbers can be used when debugging.

CPU TIME USED: 0.7 SECONDS. 14 LINES COMPILED.
NO MESSAGES
PROGRAM SIZE=63 DATA SIZE=29 COMMON SIZE=0

FIN: exit¶

Leave the compiler, and enter the BRF-Linker to build an executable program.

@brf-linker¶

BRF Linker - 10^21800
Brl: program-file fortran-bubble
Brl: load fortran-bubble fortran-1bank

You must specify which FROG-File the executable program should be built on, before you can load the relocatable program and the FORTRAN-1BANK library. What follows is output from the linker.

FREE: P 000071-177777	D 000035-177777	DEBUG 000130
FORTRAN-1BANK-EO 48-BIT FLOATING
PLANC-1BANK-P00
FREE: P 005265-177777	D 005466-177777	DEBUG 000130

Brl: exit

Done. Now you can start the ND-100 Debugger.

@debugger fortran-bubble¶

FORTRAN PROGRAM: BUBBLE.1

You are ready to observe the program execution with the ND-100 Debugger.

2.2.1 Debugging Multi-Segment Programs¶

The ND-100 Symbolic Debugger can now be used with programs that have been loaded onto SINTRAN III's segment file as multi-segment programs, in addition to ordinary programs residing on :PROG-files. (Make sure you do not confuse ND-100's segments with ND-500's segments! They are very different things.)

Using multiple segments enables you to load bigger programs than was previously possible (that is unless you previously used the somewhat limited overlay technique). However, there is a limitation on the multi-segment technique: You cannot have more than 64 K global data, no matter how many segments you use.

In order to use the Debugger with multi-segment programs, you must be able to log in as either user SYSTEM or user RT on your computer. Otherwise, you cannot dump the program onto the segment file, and you cannot use the commands in the Debugger that are used with segments.

In this section, we will look at how a simple COBOL program called A-COBOL that uses a subprogram B-COBOL is loaded onto two different segments and debugged. A-COBOL and B-COBOL must be on separate files. However, before the debugging can start, the programs must be compiled, loaded and linked to the other segment, and dumped on the segment file.

The program which is built will be known to the computer as person, and the segments used will be called acobol and bcobol. The *PROG-files reside on the fictitious user area OWN-USER, where user SYSTEM must have the appropriate read- and write-privileges. The segments are cleared before they can be used.

The preparation for debugging is done by the following :MODE-file:

@delete-reentrant person
@clear-reentrant-segment bcobol

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

For details concerning loading and execution of multi-segment programs, see the BRF-Linker User Manual, ND-60.196.

The program we now have on the segment-file can be started by typing person as your response to the SINTRAN prompt. It consists of a main program, which does nothing more than to initialize the data for a record called PERSON with such things as first name, middle initials, christian name, sex and age. The subprogram is then called with these data as parameters, processes them and then returns to the main program, which exits.

There are two new commands which become mandatory when you debug multi-segment programs:

ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT <file-name>,<segment>

which links a :PROG-file with the segment it has been dumped to. The <segment> can be either a name or a number.
REENTRANT-PLACE <reentrant-name>

which prepares the Debugger for work on the main program segment

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Using the Symbolic Debugger

Let us look at how the Debugger is connected to the program on the segments, and how we can use the BREAK, RUN and DISPLAY afterwards.

debug
The Debugger is entered without any :PROG-file specification. Remember to be on either user Area SYSTEM or Mri

ND-100 SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER. VERSION 7.
attach-reentrant-segment (own-user)-cobol.acobol

The :PROG-file built by the BRF-Linker and the name of the segment where the main program resides is attached.

reentrant-place person

Then the reentrant program system is initiated for the Debugger.

COBOL PROGRAM. (Segment 156B) A-COBOL.1¶

The Debugger tells what kind of program it is, the number of the segment it is on, and that we are currently the first line of the program with the internal name A-COBOL.

attach-reentrant-segment (own-user)b-cobol,bcobol

We also attach the segment where the subroutine is.

break b-cobol.18
run

Break at (Segment 157B) B-COBOL.18

Now, we can BREAK, RUN and DISPLAY! We set a break at the 18th line of the subroutine b-cobol, which is on the bcobol segment, and run. The Debugger breaks in segment 157B.

display age
AGE=28
set age=45
break a-cobol.18
run

Break at (Segment 156B) A-COBOL.18

The person has the age of 28. We use debugging command set to change the age to 45. Then we set a break in the 18th line of the main program, and run.

The Debugger breaks in the segment of the main program. We see that the age of our hapless person has now been changed to 45 years.

2.3 Debugging an ND-500 Program¶

The following :MODE-file will compile the BUBBLE program and generate debug information for the ND-500 Debugger. (If you don't know what a :MODE-file is, talk to somebody who does, or read the SINTRAN documentation.)

¤fortran-500
debug-mode
compile fortran-bubble terminal fortran-bubble
exit
¤linkage-loader
set-domain fortran-bubble
open-segment fortran-bubble,,,
load-segment fortran-bubble
end
exit

After you have run this file, you must do the following to start debugging:

¤nd-500  
N500: debugger fortran-bubble

Now you can proceed with the debugging, as shown on page 11.

This is how you prepare the BUBBLE program for use with the ND-500 Debugger, shown in detail.

Now you may proceed with the debugging, as shown earlier in this chapter.

2.4 Debugging an RT-Program¶

In this section, you will learn to use the RT-Debugger. It is assumed that you know how to use the RT-Loader to make RT-programs (also known as foreground programs), so only a few relevant points concerning the preparation of an RT-program for debugging will be presented here.

(If you have an ordinary ND-100 Debugger version F or later, then you make an RT-Debugger by dumping the :BPUN-file that the Debugger comes on with start address 2, restart address 3 on the segment file, instead of dumping it with addresses 0 and 1 as you would with the background Debugger. These operations can only be carried out if you have SYSTEM privileges.)

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 29¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

The same :MODE-file that compiles and loads the BUBBLE program for the ND-100 and generates debug information is used when you prepare an RT-program for debugging. The RT-Debugger will use the loaded :PROG-file as well as the code on the RT-program segment when it is used.

You must be logged in on SINTRAN III User Areas RT or SYSTEM to use the RT-Debugger. Only one terminal at a time can use it. The following :MODE-file loads the BUBBLE program as an RT-program:

@rt-loader
clear-segment 200
yes
new-segment 200,...
read-progfile (debugger)/fortran-bubble 200,..
declare-program bubble,..
change-rt-description bubble 30 200,..11,..
exit

The :PROG-file is read into segment 200 and an RT-program name BUBBLE is declared. Then BUBBLE's RT-Description is changed: it is given priority 30, it is on segment 200, then there is an empty parameter before you specify 11 as the address where execution will start. This address can be taken from the loading session with the BRF-Linker: After you have loaded the file where the main program begins, you give the BRF-Linker command LIST-ENTRIES-DEFINED. In this case, you will find that BUBBLE has the address 11.

(An alternative way to make the same RT-program would be to load the file (DEBUGGER)FORTRAN-BUBBLE:BRF with the RT-Loader command LOAD, followed by another load of the FORTRAN-1BANK:BRF file. This will generate code precisely similar to that on the FORTRAN-BUBBLE:PROG file. Then, you would have to set the priority for BUBBLE with the SINTRAN command @PRIOR after you have left the RT-Loader.)

When using the RT-Debugger, you need a few more commands than when debugging a background program. These commands are:

1) ATTACH-SEGMENT <segment number> <program file>

which tells the RT-Debugger which segment and :PROG-file it will be dealing with

2) RT-PLACE <RT-program name>

to get the appropriate RT-description placed in your register block.

3) GET-BREAK-STATUS

which retrieves the information about the last RT-break that has occurred in your computer, provided that you have set the break for the current debug session to the same place in the program as what SINTRAN has stored.

rt-place bubble¶

Tell the RT-Debugger which segment it will find the code for the RT-program on, and associate the RT-program name BUBBLE with it.

Then set a breakpoint at line 12, and start the program.

Since the terminal we use is also the ERROR-DEVICE, we now see the message that SINTRAN gives to notify that an RT-breakpoint has been reached.

2.5 The Capabilities of the Symbolic Debuggers¶

Now that you have a basic idea about how the various Symbolic Debuggers can be used, we will introduce some definitions of terms used in this manual, give some hints concerning debugging, and then an overview of the commands in the Debuggers and how they can be used. It is not very comprehensive. You must consult the following chapters for more advanced details. An overview of advanced features is given on page 24.

In the first part of this chapter, you learnt about debugging by breakpoints. The commands you need to debug by breakpoints are:

Page 33¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

USING THE SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER¶

BREAK <routine, label or line> (<count> ) (<condition>)

Telling the Debugger to stop at a certain location, called a breakpoint, in your program, optionally after having passed it the number of times specified in <count> or if the <condition> on the variables in the program is met.
DISPLAY (<item or value>)

To inspect the contents of variables etc.
RUN (<program address>)

To execute the program until the next breakpoint is reached or the program exits by itself. The optional parameter is included so that you can resume execution from another location than where you are at present.
EXIT

To stop the debugging session. (It is recommended that you don't use the ESC key.)

There is an alternative to setting BREAKs at the places where you want execution to stop, if you are not debugging RT-programs. That is to step through the program one line at a time or one subroutine call at a time, and watch the state of the program as execution proceeds.

If you choose to use this strategy, the commands that you will need are:

A LOG command, such as

a) LOG-LINES <program area>

To make step-points on every line in the `<program area>` that you specify in your source code.

b) LOG-CALLS

To make step-point on every subroutine call in the `<program area>` that you specify in your source code.

STEP (<count>)

Where count is the number of step-points you want to pass before the program is stopped. (The Debuggers can also step through code one machine instruction at a time. In that case the <count> is set to -1, and no LOG-command is needed.)
DISPLAY (<item or value>)

To inspect the contents of variables etc.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 34¶

4) EXIT to leave the Debugger¶

At this stage, you need to know precisely what a "breakpoint" and a "step-point" are.

A breakpoint is an address in your program where you want execution to stop. You may define an address indirectly as the place where code from one specific line or subroutine in your source code begins, or it may be an absolute program address. A RUN command executes your program up to and including the last instruction before the address of the breakpoint. (If you want to stop at an absolute address, use BREAK-ADDRESS.)

A step-point is a place where code generated from one specific line or subroutine in your source code begins. You must give either a LOG-LINES or a LOG-CALLS command to make your step-points, and then you move from one step-point to the next using the STEP command. (The CONTINUE and RUN commands ignore step-points.)

If you do a lot of debugging, you may want to be aware that stopping at step-points is much more time-consuming than using breakpoints, especially in the ND-100. Executing code with many step-points may hamper the execution of the programs of other users significantly.

Debugging by step-points is a looser way of debugging than debugging by breakpoints. Many programmers will use it when they work on a program that they do not know very well, to get an idea of how it works, or when they miss clues to what the problem in their program is. On the other hand, better knowledge of the code is a premise when debugging by use of one single breakpoint, so it is recommendable to use step-points as little as possible, and always to know your code well enough to be able to debug by breakpoints. However, you can use multiple breakpoints on the ND-500, as a substitute for debugging by step-points.

2.6 Advanced Features in the Debuggers¶

The debuggers have many features in addition to the basic ones described above. Some of them rely on step-points being available.

You can:

control the number of times a breakpoint is executed. See the BREAK command description on page 31 for details.

control the number of step-points to be executed. See the STEP command description on page 81 for details.

control the values or value ranges that variables can have. You can do this with the BREAK command (see page 31) if debugging by breakpoint, or by the GUARD command if debugging by step-points (see page 46).

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Using the Symbolic Debugger¶

Change the contents of variables with the SET command, see page 79.
Display record components in addition to simple variables. See the DISPLAY command on page 39.
Display data, register- and stack contents, and disassembled code with the various LOOK-AT commands. See page 57 to 72.
Find the scope of addresses in the code that resulted in errors with the FIND-SCOPE command, which is described on page 44.
Shift your point of view (scope) to different places (lines, subroutines etc.) in your program. This is done by the SCOPE command, see page 77.
Invoke subroutines, either to try them under different conditions or to use them as diagnostic tools. See the INVOKE command on page 49.
Look for parts of the code which have not been executed. This is done while debugging by step-points by the CHECK-OUT-MODE command, see page 35.
Make macros (which may take parameters) consisting of several Debugger commands with the MACRO command on page 71.
Read macros from files instead of from the keyboard. This operation is done by the INCLUDE command, see page 48.
Reserve another terminal from which the debugging can be done, so that you avoid having the debugger mess up your screen pictures. The RESERVE-TERMINAL command does this for you, see page 74.
Optimize the code on some ND-100 CPUs with the STACK-INSTRUCTIONS command, which is described on page 80.

2.7 Additional Features in the ND-500 Debugger¶

The ND-500 Symbolic Debugger has some features in addition to those found in the other Debuggers. These are:

It is possible to debug reloaded programs. The debugger checks if you have several modules with the same name in the debug information for a domain, and if so, it assumes that a reload of a multimodule system has occurred. The information for the module with the same name that was loaded last is used by the debugger. For details about reloading, see the Linkage-Loader User Guide, ND-60.182 EN.

2) three new functions:

a) MOD, which returns the remainder from integer divisions.

b) TYPEOF, which returns the type of the variable you are inspecting (as represented in the debug information). If the variable is a boolean, TYPEOF returns BOOLEAN, if it is a record, it returns RECORD.

c) SPECIAL, which makes it possible to display parameter names that otherwise have special meanings to the debugger, such as "+", "IND" etc. Example:

DISPLAY SPECIAL 'ind'

will display the variable ind.

3) it can display PLANC variant records. See page 42.

4) the ERRCODE location on the stack can be displayed as a variable. The meaning of the various ERRCODEs can be found in appendix A of the manual SINTRAN III Monitor Calls, ND-60.228 EN.

5) you can log returns from subroutines. See the command LOG-CALLS on page 53.

6) up to 20 simultaneous breakpoints can be set. See the command MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE on page 73.

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3 COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

Following is a list of all available commands with their parameters.

Parameters are enclosed in left and right angle brackets, < and >. If a parameter is also enclosed in parentheses, it is optional.

Parameter	Description
`<low> <high>`	required parameters
`(<maximum number of levels>)`	optional parameter

If you give commands without parameters, you will only be prompted for the required parameters.

The parameters that you can give to the commands described in this chapter are explained in the chapter about SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS on page 85. Please refer to that chapter if you do not know what the parameter notation means.

3.1 ACTIVE-ROUTINES `(<maximum number of levels>)`¶

This command writes the current routine call hierarchy, starting with the current routine and ending with the main program, if you have not specified a maximum number of levels. In the latter case, only as many routines as you have asked for will be printed. If you are debugging a multi-segment program, the segment number of the routines are printed together with the routine names.

If your program has not been started, you have no call hierarchy. The B-register that points to your stack-frame has not been initialized, and you will get an error message if you attempt to list the hierarchy.

You use the parameter if you want to set the number of levels to display to a different number than the default number.

QUIKSORT.3 CALLED FROM MAIN.23
MAIN.9

Norsk Data ND–60.158.5 EN

Page 40¶

3.2 ALIGN-LISTING \<program area> \<line>¶

This command is used to adjust the line numbers in the Debugger to correspond with those on a listing which is not up-to-date. Several ALIGN-LISTING commands may be given in order to adjust different parts of the listing. If areas overlap, the command most recently given takes priority over previous ones.

If no program area is specified, the innermost routine in the current scope is assumed.

*ALIGN-LISTING PRINT 800
*BREAK PRINT
*RUN
BREAK AT PRINT.804

The declaration line in the routine PRINT will be numbered 800. The rest of the lines inside the routine PRINT will be adjusted relative to the declaration line.

The declaration line is the line where the routine or main program is declared. If the declaration is split over several lines, the last of these lines is used as the declaration line when you align the listing with a routine name, except in FORTRAN, where the first line is the declaration.

3.3 ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT \<file name> \<segment name>¶

This command is intended for debugging of programs that have been loaded as multi-segment programs on the ND-100. (You should not confuse SINTRAN III's segments on the ND-100 with the segments on the ND-500 - they are quite different concepts.)

The \<file name> is the name of a file whose contents have been dumped on SINTRAN III's segment file as a part of a multi-segment program. If you do not specify an extension to the \<file name>, the default extension is :PROG.

The \<segment name> is the same as the one used while linking the multi-segment program with the BRF-Linker and then used when dumping the program to the segment file.

You can decide to change the contents of the segments or to protect them from such changes with the commands SEGMENT-WRITE-PERMIT and SEGMENT-WRITE-PROTECT, see page 78.

After you have given this command, the Debugger will display the segment number in addition to other information about the location of breakpoints, program addresses etc.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 41¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.4 ATTACH-SEGMENT `<segment number>` `([W])`¶

This section describes the command on the ND-500.

ND-500 programs may use several segments. The debug-information for a segment other than that for your main program is not available until you have attached it with this command. After it is attached, you can set breaks on the attached <segment number>.

The command SEGMENT-INFORMATION provides a list of all active segments.

3.5 ATTACH-SEGMENT `<segment number>` `<prog-file name>` `([W])`¶

This section describes the command in the RT-Debugger.

When you give this command, the segment of the RT-program that you want to debug is made known to the debugger, together with the name of a program file that contains that same code as the RT-program. (Make sure that this really is so, or you are in trouble!) If you do not specify an extension to the file name, the default extension is :PROG.

You have to give the command RT-PLACE after you have given this command, to get the appropriate RT-description of the program.

3.6 BREAK `<routine, label or line>` `(<count>)` `(<condition>)`¶

Sets a breakpoint at the specified item, and removes the previous breakpoint set by BREAK. The position will be set according to the first parameter. See on page 90 how you specify routines and labels, and on page 93 how you specify line numbers.

When you give a RUN or CONTINUE command with an active breakpoint, the program will execute until it reaches the breakpoint or the program exits. If execution reaches a breakpoint, the location of the breakpoint is displayed, together with the segment number if you are debugging an ND-100 multi-segment program.

When source code macros or INLINE routines in PLANC or FORTRAN are expanded during compilation, they are not given line numbers. The alternative is to set breaks at program addresses with the BREAK-ADDRESS command.

If a routine name is specified, the breakpoint is set at the first executable line in the routine.

If you use an ND-500 and version F or later of the Symbolic Debugger, you can give the command MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE ON, which will allow you to set up to 20 simultaneous breakpoints with the BREAK command. See page 73 for details.

If a positive number K is specified for the count parameter, the program will break when the breakpoint has been reached K times. Then,

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 42¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Commands - Detailed Description¶

The ((count)) is cleared, and you will get a break every time the breakpoint is reached afterwards. (Note that you cannot specify the ((count)) and ((condition)) parameters when multiple breaks are used.)

*BREAK SUBCALC.52 10
*RUN
BREAK AT SUBCALC.52

The program will execute until line 52 is encountered for the 10th time. When the breakpoint is reached, execution terminates and control passes to the Debugger. To continue to the breakpoint again, use RUN. To continue to the nearest step-point, use STEP.

If a conditional expression (described on page 88) is given in the last parameter, control passes to the Debugger at the breakpoint only if the condition is true and the variable is local:

*BREAK $10 I > 5
*RUN
  4        16.00
  5        25.00
  6        36.00
CONDITIONAL BREAK AT SQRS.7
*DISPLAY I
I=6

$10 specifies label 10 in the FORTRAN subroutine SQRS. Since the ((count)) parameter must be a number, the Debugger knows that the I is the start of a conditional expression.

If I is not local, prefix it with the routine name, for example, CALC.I. Only one breakpoint is allowed, but you may have multiple "step-points" by using LOG-LINES. See the example on page 93.

You can also create breakpoints by using GUARD, see page 46.

Here is an example with multiple breakpoints on the ND-500. It uses the bubble-sorting program which was used in chapter 2.

*exit ♥

| Note how you can remove breaks that you are not interested in any more. Here, the break at line 12 is reset. |

3.7 BREAK-ADDRESS `<program address>` `(<count>)`¶

This command is similar to the BREAK command, except that the breakpoint is specified directly as a program address. Addresses are assumed to be in decimal unless you specify octal, hexadecimal etc. You can use the segment notation, such as 5'54B, meaning segment 5, location 54 octal. If you are debugging a multi-segment program on the ND-100, you are only allowed to use addresses on the currently active segment. Examples:

*BREAK-ADDRESS 501 ☻
*RUN ♥

Stops at program address 501, not at line 501.

*BREAK-ADDRESS 501 10 ☻
*RUN ♥

Stops the 10th time that program address 501 is to be executed.

3.8 BREAK-RETURN¶

Sets a breakpoint at the return address of the current routine, and resumes execution from the current line. If a PLANC routine returns with an error return, the error code is displayed when the breakpoint is reached.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.9 CHECK-OUT-MODE ()¶

This command is not available in the RT-Debugger.

The CHECK-OUT-MODE command removes the step-point on each line in the specified routine/module after it has been reached. You can thus obtain a list of all lines which have never been executed, by using the DUMP-LOG command. If you are debugging an ND-100 multi-segment program, and give no parameter, only the current segment will be checked.

The Symbolic Debugger version G running on an ND-500/5000 machine provides an improved coverage check facility. After issuing the CHECK-OUT-MODE command, the DUMP-LOG command will give the coverage (lines executed / total number of lines) ratio for each routine, and the total coverage for the application.

If no area is specified, all lines are checked.

See the examples on page 101.

Note:

Since CHECK-OUT-MODE removes step-points, you cannot do the following:	You need to do this instead:
LOG-LINES	CHECK-OUT-MODE
CHECK-OUT-MODE	BREAK
STEP	RUN

If you give the commands LOG-LINES or LOG-CALLS on an area before you give the CHECK-OUT-MODE command, then only that area is checked. Default is LOG-LINES on the entire program.

If you specify LOG-CALLS, only the subroutine calls will be checked. (On the ND-500, you will also log the corresponding returns.)

3.10 COMPARE-DATA \<low> \<high> (\<output file>)¶

The data area specified by the two addresses, which are given as numbers or via ADDR, is compared to the file contents (:DSEG file on the ND-500, :PROG-files for one- and two-bank programs on the ND-100). In one-bank ND-100 programs, both program and data are compared. In multi-segment ND-100 programs, the current segments are compared. The address of each modified location is displayed, along with the old and new contents.

The default output file is the terminal; the default file type is :LIST.

In the following program, a loop is executed K times. We find the address where K is stored and change K to 20.

*LOG-LINES
*GUARD K
*DISPLAY K
K=0
*RUN

| GUARD VIOLATION AT SQRS.5 |
|---------------------------|
| *DISPLAY                  |

By using LOG-LINES, GUARD,  
and RUN, we break just after  
K is assigned a value.  
LOG-LINES is not necessary  
before GUARD on the ND-500.

3.11 COMPARE-PROGRAM `<low>` `<high>` `(<output file>)`¶

The program area specified by the lower and upper bounds is compared to the program file contents (:PSEG files on the ND-500). Modified locations are displayed with address, old contents and new contents. In multi-segment ND-100 programs, the current segments are compared.

The default output file is the terminal; the default file type is :LIST. See also COMPARE-DATA on page 37.

Here is an example of changing a MAC instruction:

*COMPARE-PROGRAM 20B 40B TERMINAL *000030B: 030607B CHANGED TO 153000B

3.12 CONTINUE¶

Execution is resumed from the current location. If you want to specify where you want to resume execution from, use RUN. See page 76. All examples in this manual use RUN.

Execution will continue until the breakpoint is reached or a GUARD violation occurs. Step-points will be skipped.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.13 DISPLAY (\<item or value>)¶

Any named element in the information generated by the compilers when the DEBUG-option is on is an item. Examples of valid items are routine names, labels, and variables. Values are constants or expressions.

You may qualify items with a dot notation to get at items not currently in scope. The items may for instance be on code that has been compiled separately. For more information about how you use the dot notation to specify places in source programs, see page 90. The dot notation can also be used to specify record components in some languages, see subsection below.

If you only write DISPLAY, all variables in the innermost routine or module in the current scope are displayed.

*DISPLAY  
(all variables are listed.)

The item(s) and value(s) you specify will be displayed:

*DISPLAY I J  
I=15  
*DISPLAY I,J,K  
I=15  
J=225  
K=5  
*DISPLAY STRING(1)  
STRING(1) = reduced

Note that only the name and the bounds of arrays are output unless you specify their names. The same applies to strings. You will find more examples of simple use of the DISPLAY command on page 11.

DISPLAY has a related command, FORMATS-DISPLAY, with which you can choose how numeric values are displayed. It can be combined with the "Ada notation" for values, so that you have a quite flexible tool for inspecting the state of the variables etc. The FORMATS-DISPLAY command is described on page 45, the Ada notation on page 85.

*FORMATS-DISPLAY O D H  
*DISPLAY &101.1  
&101.1=65  11# 101B

You can include several expressions on the same line if you separate them by commas. You cannot use blanks as separators between expressions.

You can specify a module or routine name, and all variables in the routine or module are displayed.

3.13.1 Pascal and PLANC Records¶

Many programs in these languages use dynamic allocation of storage, with records containing pointers to other records which are not accessible through any variable names. This is the case in the following PLANC program, where the record current of type element have two pointers left and right to other elements. After execution of lines 12 and 20 in the program, these two pointers contain the addresses of two new records of type element.

(PLANC and Pascal are quite similar languages. For instance, PLANC uses the same dot notation for accessing record components as Pascal, and the USING .. ENDUSING sequence is similar to Pascal's WITH ... DO BEGIN ... END. And in PLANC, A+B =: C is the same as C := A+B; in Pascal. Two visible differences are the use of modules and explicitly named stacks in PLANC, but that does not have any practical consequences here.)

MODULE records
INTEGER ARRAY : stack(0:500)
TYPE element = RECORD
BYTES : name (0:6)
element POINTER : left, right
ENDRECORD
element : current
PROGRAM : useelements
In1stack stack
USING current
'Current' =: name
New element =: left
USING left
'Left' =: name
NIL =: left =: right
ENDUSING
New element =: right
USING right
'Right' =: name
NIL =: left =: right
ENDUSING
ENDUSING
ENDROUTINE
ENDMODULE

The Symbolic Debugger uses the same dot notation to access record components. In addition, the operators IND and ADDR may be used to find the contents of an item pointed to by a pointer, and the address of an item. Consider this Debugger session on the program above:

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

@debug record=planc

PLANC PROGRAM. RECORDS.USELEMENT.8¶

*break 20
*run

Break at USELEMENT.20¶

We want to break the program after the record components have had values assigned to them. Then, we DISPLAY their values to see the results of the assignments.

*display current.current.name,current.left¶

CURRENT: NAME(0:6)  LEFT=000011B  RIGHT=000017B

The Debugger informs us that current contains an array name with indexes in the range 0:6. Furthermore, left and right contain the values 11 and 17 octal, which are the memory addresses of the first location belonging to the records these pointers point to.

Then, we see that current.name contains the text "Current", while left points to address 11 octal.

*display current.left.name,current.left.right¶

CURRENT.LEFT.NAME=Left
CURRENT.LEFT.RIGHT=NIL

Some more intricate accesses of record components.

*display ind(current.left)¶

IND(CURRENT.LEFT)=
RIGHT=NIL

	NAME(0:6)	LEFT
		NIL

We display the record at the location pointed to by current's left pointer.

*display addr(current),ind(addr(current))¶

ADDR(CURRENT)=000765B
IND(ADDR(CURRENT))=
RIGHT=000017B

	NAME(0:6)	LEFT
		000011B

Here, the Debugger tells us that current is at address 765 octal, while the object located at that address (which we now know is current itself) has the same contents as current was found to have above.

3.13.2 Displaying PLANC Variant Records on the ND-500¶

PLANC allows you to create record types which are variants of a basic type. The variants will contain all the components of the basic type, plus components which are particular to the variants of the basic type that you want to use.

As an illustration, consider the following program, where the type Vehicle forms the basis for the variant types Bus and Truck:

  1  MODULE This
  2  INTEGER ARRAY : Stack (0:200)
  3  
  4  TYPE Vehicle = RECORD
  5    REAL : Weight, Length, Width, Height
  6  ENDRECORD
  7  
  8  TYPE Bus = Vehicle RECORD
  9    INTEGER : Seats, NumberOfCrew
 10  ENDRECORD
 11  
 12  TYPE Truck = Vehicle RECORD
 13    REAL : LoadCapacity
 14    BOOLEAN : Automatic
 15  ENDRECORD
 16  
 17  Bus : LocalBus := (100.0, 10.1, 3.4, 2.1, 44. 1)
 18  Bus : ToursBus := (150.0, 11.3, 3.4, 2.1, 35. 3)
 19  Truck : TipTruck := (50.5, 8.6, 3.2, 1.9, 45.0, TRUE)
 20  
 21  PROGRAM : Variant
 22    INISTACK Stack
 23  ENDROUTINE
 24  ENDMODULE

The ND-500 debugger makes the following DISPLAY commands possible:

*display this*
| LOCALBUS | STACK(0:200) | TIPTRUCK | TOURSBUS |

*display localbus.vehicle*
| LOCALBUS.VEHICLE  |             |
| WEIGHT=           | 1.00000E+02 |
| LENGTH=           | 1.01000E+01 |

3.14 DUMP-LOG (output file)¶

Sometimes, it is desirable to keep trace of the progress of a program, to see which source code lines and procedure calls are executed. When you use the Symbolic Debugger on the ND-100 and ND-500, the DUMP-LOG command helps you do this. The RT-Debugger has no LOG-LINES or LOG-CALLS commands, so you cannot log the progress of an RT program in the same way. For details about LOG-LINES see page 55, and see page 53 about the LOG-CALLS.

The output of the DUMP-LOG command depends on the type of log specified.

If LOG-CALLS was specified last, a list of the last 200 routine calls is displayed. See example on page 53.

If LOG-LINES was specified last, a list of the last 200 lines executed is displayed. If a line is the first line in a routine, the routine name is also displayed. See example on page 55.

If CHECK-OUT-MODE was specified last, a list of all the lines or routines (in the area specified in the CHECK-OUT-MODE command) that have not been executed is displayed on the terminal. If a line is the first line in a routine, the routine name is also displayed.

If you are debugging a multi-segment ND-100 program, the segment number will be printed each time it changes.

If you do the following when you start the Debugger, you will list every line in your program that can be logged, even if there are more than 200 lines:

*CHECK-OUT-MODE
*DUMP-LOG

The default output file is the terminal; the default file type is :LIST. For details about the CHECK-OUT-MODE command, see page 35.

See also the commands LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE and LOCAL-TRAP-ENABLE, pages 51 and 52.

3.16 EXIT¶

Returns control to SINTRAN on the ND-100, and to the ND-500 MONITOR on the ND-500.

3.17 FIND-SCOPE \<program address>¶

This command finds the module or routine, and the line number, that correspond to the specified program address. The current scope status is displayed. If you are debugging an ND-100 multi-segment program, this command can only be used on the currently active segment.

Addresses are specified with either ND-500 syntax, octal or hexadecimal values. For example:

find-scope 1^450B
ROUTINES.WRITE_TREE.49

The address originates from line 49, belonging to the routine WRITE_TREE, which is located inside a main program (or PLANC module) named ROUTINES.

The difference between FIND-SCOPE and SCOPE (see page 77) is that FIND-SCOPE needs a program address, while SCOPE has a module, routine or line number for its parameter. Furthermore, FIND-SCOPE returns the scope of an address in the executable code, while SCOPE moves you to the relevant source file.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 55¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

ROUTINES.WRITE_TREE,49 for instance, so that you can DISPLAY local variables in the routine WRITE_TREE, etc.

3.18 FORMATS-DISPLAY ¶

Set format(s) for the DISPLAY command. This will not affect the format for the LOOK-AT commands. &del; You obtain the default setting by giving an empty format specification.

Here is what the codes mean:

Code	Meaning
A	Alphanumeric
D	Decimal
F	Floating point
H	Hexadecimal
O	Octal

Default values are A for DISPLAYing character strings, O for pointers, D for integers and F for reals.

An example is given on page 39.

3.19 FORMATS-LOOK-AT ¶

Set format(s) for the LOOK-AT commands. The default (initial) format setting is obtained by giving an empty format specification when the Debugger prompts for parameters to this command.

Here is what the codes mean:

Code	Meaning
A	Alphanumeric
D	Decimal
F	Floating point
I	Instruction
H	Hexadecimal
O	Octal

An example is given on page 57.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 56¶

3.20 GET-BREAK-STATUS¶

This command can only be used with the RT-Debugger.

When debugging an RT-program, you may leave the RT-Debugger after you have started the program with the RUN-command. The RT-program may then run for any period of time until the code where the break was set is reached. When this happens, a message is printed on the error-device, such as:

BREAKPOINT IN <program name> AT <address (octal)>

and you can enter the RT-Debugger. It will not "remember" where the breakpoint was when you left it, so you must set a breakpoint at exactly the same location as you had before you exited the RT-Debugger. This is necessary if any debugging is to take place - now, the debugger can verify that SINTRAN III has detected the correct breakpoint. (To set the breakpoint, use the BREAK \<routine, label or line> command.)

Then, give the command GET-BREAK-STATUS. The RT-debugger then responds with:

BREAK AT <routine name>.<source line no.>

and you can LOOK-AT registers, DISPLAY variables and so on, as you would in the other debuggers.

If the locations do not match, you get the error message "No active breakpoint".

3.21 GUARD `<item or address> (((not) low (: high)))`¶

Guard cannot be used in the RT-Debugger.

This command specifies a data item (which may be composite, such as arrays and records) or location to be checked for modifications. If the contents of the item or location are outside the permitted range, a guard violation occurs and control is passed to the Debugger. You can use expressions for low and high.

On the ND-500/5000 machine with the G version of the Symbolic Debugger Guard is possible on several items at the same time. The GUARD command without parameters gives a list of what is currently guarded.

USE LOG-LINES or LOG-CALLS before GUARD
on the ND-100.

*GUARD x 0. 10

0 to 10 is the permitted range.

*RUN
GUARD VIOLATION AT MAIN.55
*DISPLAY X
X=11
*RUN

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 57¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

This will break every time x has a value outside the range 0 to 10.

Any data item which has a single value (PLANC types POINTER, INTEGER, REAL, ENUMERATION, BOOLEAN, and SET) is allowed. Array elements (packed and unpacked) and record components (packed and unpacked) may also be specified. Composite items with size less than 96 bytes can also be specified.

If an address is given, the location at that address, taken as a single signed integer (ND-100, 16 bits; ND-500, 32 bits), is checked for modifications.

The permitted range is specified by n, where low <= n <= high. If the operator NOT appears, however, the permitted range is n < low or n > high.

*GUARD X NOT.50:70 〉
*RUN 〉

GUARD VIOLATION AT LOOPS.9
*DISPLAY K 〉
K=60

If only low is specified, then high is set equal to low. If no range is specified, the permitted range becomes the single value of the current contents of the specified address. Permitted range, low:high, cannot be specified for PLANC SETs.

To continue, use RUN or STEP. If you want to remove GUARD, use it without parameters.

On the ND-100, the amount of checking is determined by using the LOG-CALLS or the LOG-LINES command. LOG-CALLS specifies that checking is to be performed at the entry to the routines. LOG-LINES means that checking is to be performed on every logged line. If a program area is specified, checking is performed only in the specified program area.

On the ND-500, checking is done by the hardware throughout the entire program.

To remove the GUARD control see RESET-GUARD on p. 76.

3.22 HELP \<command name>¶

The HELP command lists available commands on the terminal. Only those commands that have \<command name> as a subset are listed. If \<command name> is null, then all available commands are listed. Each command is followed by a parameter list, if it has any. Required parameters are enclosed in angle brackets: \< >. Optional parameters are enclosed in parentheses and angle brackets: (( )).

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 58¶

3.23 INCLUDE-COMMANDS¶

If you are debugging an ND-500 program or a background program on the ND-100, this command will include the commands from the file (which has default file type :SYMB).

For example, you might want to create a file called MACROS:SYMB with the following contents:

macro std
formats-display
macro dho
formats-display d h o
macro x
display;run
macro y
x;x;x;
display

Then you can do the following to include your macros and ensure that they have been defined properly:

*INCLUDE-COMMANDS MACROS  
*MACRO STD  
BODY: *MACRO DHO  
BODY: *MACRO X  
BODY: *MACRO Y

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.24 INVOKE {routine} ((parameter,...,parameter))¶

You cannot use this command from the RT-Debugger.

This command is used to call routines. Parameters will not be checked. You must ensure that you call the routine with the correct number of parameters, and that the actual and formal parameters are compatible. If you are debugging a multi-segment program on the ND-100, you can only invoke routines on the current segment, and these routines cannot change segments.

If the routine is a FORTRAN subroutine or a PLANC standard routine, all items that have a defined address (when the INVOKE command is executed) and constants are allowed. If the routine is a normal PLANC routine, simple variables (ENUMERATION, BOOLEAN, POINTER and INTEGER) and records are allowed.

Furthermore, all parameters that you use when you INVOKE a subroutine are given a size of one word, so simple data types of other sizes, such as REAL8 on the ND-500 or REAL4/REAL6 on the ND-100 cannot be passed as a parameters to a routine in this manner. Use the SET-command after you have INVOKEd instead. Records, strings and arrays are passed as pointers, therefore they occupy one word on the stack.

COBOL has separately compiled subprograms instead of subroutines, and these subprograms may not be INVOKEd in the manner described here.

Here is an example of how the INVOKE command can be used. The program is supposed to read a sequence of keys, which are single bytes for the sake of simplicity, and sort them into alphabetical order as they are read by the program. The contents of the resulting data structure (which is a "binary tree" in the program used as example here) is listed by the subroutine write tree called from the program at the end of execution. However, write tree can be INVOKEd at any stage during execution to see how the sorting proceeds (provided the data structure is consistent at the time of invocation).

Command	Description
*break 64	We set a break at line 64. This is the line where insertion of a new key is initiated.
*run	Then the program is allowed to run.
Keys:	SDPGLKHBJUUREJDFNGWERTOIYNXCVEB
BREAK at MAIN.64
*break 64 10	After the program has read its unsorted sequence of keys, we insert 10 keys before the next break.
*run
BREAK at MAIN.64
*invoke write tree

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.25 LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE ((trap conditions))¶

This command is only on the ND-500 Debugger. Several traps can be specified on the same line, separated by spaces or commas. Always use hyphens between words in trap names! Abbreviations are accepted.

Example:

*LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE A-T-F A-T-R FL-UND

ADDRESS-TRAP-FETCH, ADDRESS-TRAP-READ, and FLOATING-UNDERFLOW are disabled.

The Debugger shares the trap-handler with the user program. Before the Debugger starts the user program, it takes the traps PRT, BPT, ATW and SIT (29, 20, 23 and 17). It must have these traps to detect break- and step-points etc.

If ((trap conditions)) is empty, all traps are disabled. If ((trap conditions)) is HELP, all available trap conditions are listed on the terminal.

In the following example, the program LOOPS divides by zero. By disabling trap 12, "Division by zero", control will not go to the Debugger when a number is divided by zero in the program.

*RUN

DIVISION BY ZERO AT LOOPS.4
*LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE HELP

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

36 * PROTECT VIOLATION¶

LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE DIVISION-BY-ZERO

RUN

We could have written *L-T-D DIV since DIV is an unambiguous abbreviation of DIVISION-BY-ZERO.

The trap conditions marked with an asterisk (*) are disabled if you give the LOCAL-TRAP-DISABLE command without any parameters.

When a trap is disabled, nothing happens if the condition occurs, unless the condition is fatal. In the latter case (for instance, if a protect-violation occurs), the monitor takes over and reports the error.

3.26 LOCAL-TRAP-ENABLE (\<trap conditions>)¶

This command is for the ND-500 only. Several traps can be specified on the same line separated by spaces or commas. Always use hyphens between words in trap names!

If (\<trap conditions>) is HELP, all available trap conditions are listed on the terminal. The trap conditions marked with an asterisk (*) are enabled if you give the command LOCAL-TRAP-ENABLE without any parameters.

Example:

LOCAL-TRAP-ENABLE PROT-VIOL, I-I-C

The PROTECT-VIOLATION and ILLEGAL-INSTRUCTION-CODE traps are enabled.

If the enabled trap condition occurs, the Debugger will take over and break.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.27 LOG-CALLS ¶

This command cannot be used from the RT-Debugger.

The LOG-CALLS command logs all routine calls in a cyclic buffer. This buffer can be inspected by means of the DUMP-LOG command (see page 43). The buffer can hold a maximum of 200 entries.

If you do not specify any area, the whole program is checked, except when debugging multi-segment ND-100 programs, where only the current segment is checked. To log on other segments, you must first enter a break on that segment.

On the ND-500, return from subroutines is also logged.

LOG-CALLS
BREAK PRINT 5
RUN
BREAK AT PRINT.21
DUMP-LOG
LOOPS PRINT PRINT REDUCE REDUCE PRINT
REDUCE REDUCE PRINT REDUCE REDUCE PRINT
EXIT

If a module or routine is specified, all routines that are called in the specified module or routine are logged.

This command is normally used in conjunction with other commands. The next sections give some examples.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 64¶

3.27.1 LOG-CALLS and CHECK-OUT-MODE¶

This is how you can log all the routines in your program that are not called:

*LOG-CALLS,...
*CHECK-OUT-MODE
   ... (BREAK and RUN)
*DUMP-LOG

You can also specify an area:

*LOG-CALLS,...
*CHECK-OUT-MODE MAIN.20:MAIN.40
   ... (BREAK and RUN)
*DUMP-LOG

Any routine not called in the area MAIN.20 to MAIN.40 will be logged.

You can list all routines by using DUMP-LOG immediately after LOG-CALLS and CHECK-OUT-MODE:

*LOG-CALLS,...
*CHECK-OUT-MODE
*DUMP-LOG
LOOPS.6 PRINT.21 REDUCE.34

That may be useful when you start debugging your program.

3.27.2 LOG-CALLS and GUARD¶

You need to use LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES before GUARD only on the ND-100.

*LOG-CALLS,...
*GUARD CEVAL
*RUN

Every time a routine is called, the Debugger will check to see if the value of CEVAL has changed.

3.27.3 LOG-CALLS and STEP¶

*LOG-CALLS MAIN.50 : MAIN.70
*STEP

Each (Carriage Return) will bring you to the next routine call in the area MAIN.50 to MAIN.70, and each routine call will be logged. On the ND-500, returns from subroutines are logged, too.

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.28 LOG-LINES `<program area>`¶

This command cannot be used from the RT-Debugger.

The LOG-LINES command logs all executed line numbers in a cyclic buffer. This buffer can be inspected by means of the DUMP-LOG command (see page 43). The buffer can hold a maximum of 200 entries.

LOG-LINES
*BREAK PRINT 5
RUN
BREAK AT PRINT.21
*DUMP-LOG
LOOPS.6 7 8 9 10 11 14 12 13
PRINT.21 22 23 26 23 26 23 26 23 26 27 28 29 LOOPS.14 12 13
PRINT.21 22 23 24 REDUCE.34 35 36 37
(etc.)

If a module or routine is specified, only the lines executed in the specified module or routine are logged.

If you are debugging an ND-100 multi-segment program, only the current segment is logged. You can set breaks on any segment by first entering a break on that segment.

LOG-LINES is normally used in conjunction with other commands. Here are some examples:

3.28.1 LOG-LINES and GUARD¶

You only need to use LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES before GUARD on the ND-100.

LOG-LINES CALC
*GUARD CEVAL
*RUN

The Debugger will tell you if the value of CEVAL changes anywhere in the routine CALC.

3.28.2 LOG-LINES and STEP¶

*LOG-LINES MAIN.50 : MAIN.70 ↵
*STEP ↵

Each ↵ (Carriage Return) will bring you to the next line in the area MAIN.50 to MAIN.70 and each line number will be logged.

Note:


We advise you NOT to use LOG-LINES on your entire program if you have a large program. Specify part of
your program instead. Otherwise you will slow down program execution considerably.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.29 LOOK-AT-DATA `<data address>` `<count>` `<output file>`¶

This command and the related commands LOOK-AT-PROGRAM, LOOK-AT-REGISTER and LOOK-AT-STACK enable data locations, program locations and registers to be inspected and modified. The data address and the count can be specified with constants, as described on page 85. The count can also be given as an expression, see page 88. Output from these commands can be sent to the file named in the optional <output file> parameter. The file has default type :SYMB.

*LOOK-AT-DATA 320 10 *

The data in the addresses 320 to 332 (octal!) will be printed. If you do not specify count, one location will be output.

If you are employing an alternative page table from a 1-bank program, addresses within the alternative page table can be accessed by specifying addresses in the range 200,000B to 377,777B. (ND-100 only.)

*LOOK-AT-DATA 320 1000 "DATA:LIST" *

In the above example, control returns to the Debugger when the 1000 locations have been output. If you send the output to your terminal, control remains within the LOOK-AT command, and you may use the subcommands described below.

↵ (Carriage Return) causes an advance to the next address item without changing the contents of the current address. (An address is a 16 bit word on the ND-100 and a 32 bit word on the ND-500.) All subcommands are terminated by CR. Printing a dot (.), a semicolon (;), or EXIT returns you to the Debugger:

*FORMATS-LOOK-AT 0 H ↵
*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(CURRENT.NAME) ↵
D 001010B: 000142B 0062H
D 001011B: 067542B 6F62H EXIT ↵

Note that the contents of each location is printed in the format(s) specified by the FORMATS-LOOK-AT command.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

Below you will find the special notation that is available when you have given a LOOK-AT command. Subcommands are listed in the next section.

HELP <command name>
Lists available LOOK-AT subcommands on the terminal.

EXIT or ; or .
Returns control to the Debugger's command processor.

m
Deposits the value of the expression m (which can also be a string constant) in the current location and advances to the next location.

m,n/
This prints n locations, starting with the contents of location m. See the example on page 66.

Here are some examples that illustrate the notation.

First, we modify the data used in the BUBBLE program used in the introductory example on page 11. This example is run on the ND-500.

*display tosort↓
TOSORT=9876543210
*look-at-data addr(tosort(5))↓

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(K),...¶

| D 000060B: 000024B | 20 | i j |

In the above example, three ways of exiting were shown (., i, and EXIT), and the value 20 was stored in data address 60B. The value 153000B replaced 12606B in program address 30B.

Here is the special notation to be used with the slash (/) command:

m/
Take the value of m as the next address and display this location.

/
Take the contents of the current location as the next address and display this location (indirection).

//
(Restricted for the moment to the ND-100.) When in program mode only, the second slash will cause the current word to be interpreted as an instruction. The operand of the instruction is taken as the next location.

m,/
Take the value of m as the next address and display n locations, where n is the last count entered.

,n/
Take the contents of the current location as the next address and display n locations.

,/
Take the contents of the current location as the next address and display n locations, where n is the last count entered.

Here are some examples:¶

*SET K = 11B
*LOOK-AT-PROGRAM K
P 000011B: 171400B -3328  S SAX 0 11B+100B/

P 000210B: 146147B -13209 Lg COPY SL DX i

Now consider a more complex example. On page 49, we presented a program using a simple data structure, which we can use to maintain lists of keys sorted in alphabetical order. This is achieved by associating each key with pointers to other keys, which likewise have pointers associated with them. These pointers contain the addresses of other keys, or zero if they do not point to any further keys. In Pascal and PLANC, this corresponds to a RECORD with the following structure:

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 70¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

node = RECORD
    key : BYTE;
    left, right : node POINTER
ENDRECORD;

We make the sorted structure by making the left pointer point to keys smaller than the key of the current record, and the right pointer point to bigger keys. Now, if we follow the left pointer from node to node, the consequence of this is that we get successively smaller keys.

On page 49, we investigated this data structure with subroutines that were part of the program we were debugging. But from the above description of the slash command, it is evident that we can use it as an alternative to the DISPLAY command or invocation of such routines to inspect the data structure. This is an example of how you do this on the ND-500:

*break 80 ↓
run ↓

Keys:	OGHFJSDDKUIQWERTMNXCVBSDFGLKJNBQWERTUOIUHBXCVBMN
BREAK	at MAIN.80
*break 80 30 ↓	run ↓

BREAK at MAIN.80
*invoke write tree ↓

Sorted keys: BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX

*formats-look-at a h ↓

| Next, the Debugger is told to output the contents of the addresses in alphabetical and hexadecimal form. |

root is a pointer, thus it contains an address of a location in physical memory. We LOOK-AT it, and see that that address contains an 0. The next address is a pointer to the next smaller key. A P brings us there. The key is G, which is smaller than 0. Proceeding like this, we uncover an F, D, C, and a B before we find no more meaningful pointers. Which is the same as what we learned from INVOKEing the write tree routine: The smallest element in the structure is a B.

BREAK (ND-100 and RT)¶

This command is a supplement to the BREAK-ADDRESS command on the ND-100 Debugger and the RT-Debugger. It sets a breakpoint at the program address you are LOOKing at, so that your program will go into the break mode the next time it executes the instruction at that address.

DATA, PROGRAM, REGISTER, and STACK¶

Within a LOOK-AT command one can go directly to one of the other LOOK-AT commands by using one of these subcommands.

Example:

WORD, FLOATING, and DOUBLE-FLOATING¶

DOUBLE-WORD¶

(ND-100 and RT)

BYTE and HALF-WORD¶

(ND-500 only)

With the LOOK-AT commands one can display values in units of several different sizes. These subcommands specify the desired size.

Here are some examples from an ND-500 program:

*FORMATS-LOOK-AT H J
*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(I) J
D 01000000030B: 50380E46H BYTE J
D 01000000030B: 50H J

D 0100000030B: 5038H J
D 0100000032B: 0E/46H J

In the following example, X is declared as real in a PLANC-500 program; Y8 is declared as REAL8:

*DISPLAY X

D 0100000034B: 4050624DH,B2F1A9FCH 1.25600000000000 J

FLOATING is useful for inspecting the values of real numbers. DOUBLE-FLOATING is only helpful for real numbers stored in 2 words. It also displays 48 bit floating numbers on the ND-100.

FORMATS `<formats A, D, F, H, I or O>`¶

EXTRA-FORMATS `<formats A, D, F, H, I or O>`¶

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 75¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

In FORMATS and EXTRA-FORMATS, the abbreviations have the following meaning:

A = Alphanumeric	I = Instruction
D = Decimal	H = Hexadecimal
F = Floating point	O = Octal

The formats set by means of the FORMATS-LOOK-AT command may be temporarily changed with these subcommands. The FORMATS subcommand is similar to the FORMATS-LOOK-AT, except that the formats are valid only until exit from LOOK-AT. The EXTRA-FORMATS command is similar to the FORMATS command, except that the specified formats are added to those already set.

SEARCH (ND-500 only)¶

This command searches for a sequence of bytes or an instruction in memory. The byte string can be input as:

a) a series of numbers: SEARCH 102B,127B,177B

b) an assembly instruction: SEARCH W1 := 3B

c) a string of bytes inside a pair of apostrophes: SEARCH 'PETER'

Note that all letters are converted to capitals before the search, so that you cannot specify SEARCH 'Peter' if you have a the string 'Peter' somewhere in memory. Use SEARCH 80,101,116,101,114 instead.

Examples:¶

*look-at-data 0

D 1'  0B: 00000000000B   0        byte 
D 1'  0B: 00B     0      search 80,101,116,101,114 
D 1'  4B: 120B    80     P
D 1'  5B: 145B    101    e 
D 1'  6B: 164B    116    t 
D 1'  7B: 145B    101    e 
D 1'  10B: 162B   114    r 

*look-at-program 0

P 1'  0B: 0B         search w1 := 3b 
P 1'  56B: W1 := 3B

3.31 LOOK-AT-LIST `<Start>:<Link>`¶

This command should only be used with the G version of the Symbolic Debugger on an ND-500/5000 machine.

The LOOK-AT-LIST command makes it possible to inspect a linked list (PLANC or PASCAL). Parameter <Start> is the pointer to the first element in the list. <Link> is the record-field where the pointer to the next element is held. <DISPLAY $> displays the last element that has been inspected.

The example below shows how you may use the LOOK-AT-LIST command.

*LOOK-AT-LIST root:left
KEY=108      LEFT=01000001614B              RIGHT= 01000001640B
KEY=102      LEFT=01000001664B              RIGHT= 01000001734B
KEY=100      LEFT=01000002054B              RIGHT= 01000001710B
KEY=97       LEFT=NIL                       RIGHT= 01000002220B

*DISPLAY IND($)
IND($)=     KEY=97 LEFT=NIL                 RIGHT= 01000002220B

3.32 LOOK-AT-PROGRAM `<program address>` (`<count>`) (`<output file>`)¶

Inspect and modify program locations. This command is similar to the LOOK-AT-DATA command, except that I format (symbolic instructions) is enabled as default. Decimal addresses are default, so remember to write B after octal addresses! Output from this command can be sent to the file named in the optional (<output file>) parameter.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Here is a very short example from an ND-500 program:

*LOOK-AT-PROGRAM ↵
PROGRAM ADDRESS: 120B ↵
P 01'120B: W LOOP1 B.024B:S,B.030B:S,-060B-->01'40B CODE ↵
INSTRUCTION: W LOOP1 B.030B:S,B.024B:S,40B ↵

P 01'120B: W LOOP1 B.030B:S,B.024B:S,-060B-->01'40B i ↵
*__

Note that we abbreviated a few addresses with an apostrophe to save space. 01000000120B and 01'120B both mean segment number 1, address 120B.

Some examples of LOOK-AT-PROGRAM are also given in the previous section on page 58 and 59.

3.33 LOOK-AT-REGISTER \<register name> (\<count>) (\<output file>)¶

Inspect and modify CPU registers. This command is similar to the LOOK-AT-DATA command. Output from this command can be sent to the file named in the optional (\<output file>) parameter. The file has default type :SYMB.

*LOOK-AT-REGISTER P 9 ↵

Register	Value
P:	003216B	1678
X:	000030B	24
T:	002734B	1500

S:	000140B	96
B:	000216B	142
W:	000002B	2
PSEG:	000157B	0 EXIT

On the ND-100, W is the current alternative page table. Note that its value is 2 above. Its value must be 2 or 3. The PSEG shows which register you are on if debugging a multi-segment program.

3.34 LOOK-AT-STACK `<B register> (<count>) (<output file>)`¶

Inspect and modify locations in the stack. This command is similar to the LOOK-AT-DATA command, except that both absolute and relative addresses are displayed. Locations in the stack header are given by name rather than by address. Output from this command can be sent to the file named in the optional <output file> parameter. The file has default type :SYMB.

The stack handling related to subroutine calls is usually done by special machine instructions. (An exception is some ND-100 CPUs.) Therefore, the display of the stack looks the same on the same CPU, no matter what programming language you use.

Addresses entered with the slash (/) command are taken as relative to the B register of the current stack frame that is being examined.

D 000015B	-172B: 00035B	221	1 / J
To the left, you see the address of the first local variable in the routine. Then comes -172B, the address of that location relative to the B register, followed by the contents of the location.
Now, all the various LOOK-AT subcommands can be used. By default, you will be inspecting the addresses of the parameters of the current subroutine. Next will give you the stack frame of the next subroutine on the stack, PREVIOUS that of the previous subroutine.

D 000335B	00011OB	72 H J
D 000336B	00000OB	0 J

This is what you see when you LOOK-AT the stack on an ND-500:

LOOK-AT-STACK¶

Previous B:	01000000314B
This is the B register of the previous stack frame.

Return Address:	01000000222B
The address to which you will return when exiting this routine.

Next B:	01000000224B
This is the B register of the next stack frame.

The NEXT command is the opposite of the PREVIOUS command: It moves to the next stack frame on the stack.

These commands are useful if your program uses many routines that call each other, such as recursive routines, since you can observe the previous routine calls and their parameters.

3.35 MACRO ¶

This builds macro commands composed of one or more basic commands and other macro commands. The macro name can be any character string and is terminated by a space or a comma. Only the first eight characters are significant. The rest of the line following the macro name is taken as the macro body. The macro body is not terminated by a semicolon, thus several commands can be included in the same macro body.

If the macro body is empty, the corresponding macro is erased.

If the macro name is empty, all the currently defined macros are displayed on the terminal:

*MACRO *
NAME: X
BODY: DISPLAY; RUN

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 82¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

MACRO
NAME:
BODY: X;X;X;X


No name and no body will	list the macros you have defined.

A macro parameter is referenced in the macro body as "n", where n is a one-digit number (1 - 9). See the example below.

A macro name is used in the same way as a command name. It can be abbreviated in the same way, too. However, macro parameters are not asked for if omitted, but taken to be empty strings when the macro is expanded. A macro name can also be used as a LOOK-AT subcommand.

Examples of MACRO:

MACRO DX,DISPLAY P.NAME(0), P.NAME(1); SET P,P.LINK
SET P.ELEM
DX

P.NAME(0)=	101B	65
P.NAME(1)=	102B	66

The first parameter you give will be inserted here.

MACRO DY,DISPLAY P.NAME("1")
DY

P.NAME(5)=	106B	70

Here is a useful macro to define:

MACRO
NAME: VIEW
BODY: LOG-CALLS,…; CHECK-OUT-MODE; DUMP-LOG

Try it when you start the Debugger. You will get a good overview of your program.

Macros are useful in programs with records and pointers:

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.36 MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE¶

This command is only available from version F of the SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER on the ND-500.

When using this command, you switch between the "ordinary" debugger mode with one breakpoint and a mode where you can handle up to 20 breakpoints simultaneously. If you use MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE OFF, the last breakpoint that you used is removed when you set a new one. If you use MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE ON, then the breakpoints are not removed as you set new ones, until you reach the limit of 20 breakpoints.

When MULTIPLE-BREAK-MODE is ON, you cannot use conditions in your BREAK commands.

If you enter this command without an option, you get a list of currently active breakpoints.

3.37 PLACE ()¶

This command exists in the ND-100 Debugger only. It reads a program from a program file (:PROG) into the user's memory (background segment). If you do not specify an extension to the file name, the default extension is :PROG. The PLACE command cannot be used while debugging reentrant multi-segment programs.

When you do a PLACE, the program counter is set to the start address, the status register to zero, and the alternative page table to 2. The current alternative page table may be examined by LOOK-AT-REGISTER W. The scope is set according to the start address.

If you use the optional parameter W, you get write access to your :PROG file. Each update you do with LOOK-AT-DATA or LOOK-AT-PROGRAM will be performed on your :PROG file at the same time. Use W with care!

Example Command
*PLACE TEST W
FORTRAN PROGRAM. SQRS.1

See an example of this on page 80.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 84¶

3.38 PROGRAM-INFORMATION¶

The command is relevant to the ND-100 only. It lists the following information from the program file:

start address
restart address
lower and upper bounds for the program and data
lower and upper bounds for debug information

Example:

  *PLACE TEST J
  FORTRAN PROGRAM. SQRS.1
  *PROGRAM-INFORMATION J
  START, RESTART:    000011B, 000011B
  PROGRAM, DATA:     000000B - 035065B
  DEBUG-INFORMATION: 000000B - 000063B

If you are debugging a multi-segment program, information will be given for all segments that are currently attached.

3.39 REENTRANT-PLACE \<Reentrant-name>¶

This command is available on the ND-100 Debugger only.

This command is used to initiate a reentrant program for the Symbolic Debugger. The reentrant program must be loaded as a multi-segment system by the BRF-Linker. Before this command can be given, the main segment of your program must be attached with the ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT command, see p. 30.

3.40 RESERVE-TERMINAL \<logical device number>¶

This command can be used both on the ND-100 and the ND-500, but not for RT-programs.

People who debug screen-handling programs may prefer to use two terminals while they debug. By giving the RESERVE-TERMINAL command, your program output will go to your terminal. At the same time, you can give and get input and output from the Debugger from the terminal you reserve. To free the reserved terminal, you must log out from the other terminal.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

Here is a picture to illustrate the situation:

Your terminal (number 30)	Nearby terminal (number 40)
RESERV 40 ↵ Output from your program.	I/O from Debugger. Reserved until term. 30 logs out.

You start the Debugger from terminal 30, reserve 40 and move there.
All input and output to/from the Debugger will be on terminal 40.

When you are finished, you return to terminal 30 and log out to free terminal 40.

3.41 RESET-BREAKS ()¶

If no program area is specified, all breakpoints and step-points set with BREAK, CHECK-OUT-MODE, LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES are reset. A breakpoint set by means of the BREAK-ADDRESS command is reset only if it is the first instruction in a line. If you are debugging multi-segment ND-100 programs, you can only reset on one segment at a time. No parameter means current segment in this case.

If a program area is specified, the breakpoints at addresses in that area are removed.

Here is how you remove all breakpoints and execute your program:

*RESET-BREAKS ↵
*RUN ↵

Here is how you normally remove all breakpoints and step-points:

*LOG-LINES LOOPS ↵
*GUARD I ↵
*RUN ↵

3.42 RESET-GUARD `<Item or address>`¶

This command is available in the G version of the Symbolic Debugger on an ND-500/5000 machine.

The RESET-GUARD command removes the GUARD control for the data item or location you specified to be checked for modifications with the GUARD command.

For details about GUARD, see p. 46.

3.43 RT-PLACE `<program name>` `(W)`¶

This command only exists in the RT-Debugger. It puts the RT-description of the program you want to debug into the register block.

3.44 RUN `<program address>`¶

If no program address is specified, execution is resumed from the current line. RUN works exactly as CONTINUE. If you specify a program address, control is transferred directly to that address.

If you want to start execution from line 15 in XYZ, do this:

*RUN ADDR(XYZ.15)

Execution will continue until the breakpoint is reached or a GUARD violation occurs. Step-points will be skipped.

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.45 SCOPE (\<module, routine or other item>)¶

This command finds the specified module or routine and updates the scope accordingly. The current scope status including source file information is displayed. If no module or routine is specified, the current scope is not affected, but it is displayed. Note that the routine that you specify must be active, which means that at least one stack frame describing an invocation of the routine must be on the stack. If you are debugging multi-segment ND-100 programs, and set the scope to another segment than the current, the new scope will be printed, but then reset to the current scope.

3.46 SEGMENT-INFORMATION¶

This command is relevant to the ND-500 and to the RT-Debugger.

On the ND-500, information about the currently active segments is displayed on the terminal in the form of a table as in the example below:

SEGMENT	FILE	C1	C2	NAME
PSEG 0	1777B	2	0	(PACK-TWO:DEBUG)SEGMENT-D001-S01
DSEG 1	1776B
LINK 1	1775B	3
PSEG 26	0B			(SYM-DEB)DEBUGGER
DSEG 26	0B
LINK 26	0B
PSEG 30	0B			(PACK-REM:DOMAINS)FORTRAN-LIB-H00
DSEG 30	0B
LINK 30	0B

When the Debugger starts, a monitor call to the ND-500 Monitor produces a list of all active segments. The list may contain a FORTRAN library segment. SEGMENT-INFORMATION can be used to obtain segment numbers for use in the ATTACH-SEGMENT command. C1 and C2 are segments used by the Debugger when connecting the file as a segment. Since the Debugger uses segments 0 and 2, if you use the ND-500 Monitor call FSCNT, you must use other segments. See page 107.

On the RT-Debugger, the information that you get looks like this:

SEGMENT-INFORMATION
200B	(OWN-USER)BUBBLE-SORT

The number of the segment of the RT-program you are currently debugging is 200 octal, while the :PROG-file that you have attached is (OWN-USER)BUBBLE-SORT:PROG.

3.47 SEGMENT-WRITE-PERMIT ¶

This command is used in the ND-100 Debugger and the RT-Debugger. It allows you to write data on the segment that you specify.

3.48 SEGMENT-WRITE-PROTECT ¶

This command is used in the ND-100 Debugger and the RT-Debugger. After you have given it, the segment is read-only - it cannot be written to.

Page 89¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.49 SET {variable} (=) {value}¶

This command is used to set program variables. Any variable reference which has a defined address can be set. The values are formed according to the rules for expressions on page 88.

For example:

*SET XX 10 *

*SET KK.LL(37)=KK.LL(37) * 2 *

*SET STRING(3)='TEXT' *

It is possible to set an array equal to an array, for instance, a PLANC array equal to a FORTRAN array or an array equal to a sequence of bytes. (Note, however, that all characters are converted to capitals by the Symbolic Debuggers.) The truncation is as for PLANC if the dimensions differ. A real array can be set equal to an integer array, a packed array can be set equal to an unpacked array, and vice versa. An array may also be set to a constant; if the array is real or integer, then the constant will take the form of the array, as in:

*SET INTEGER ARRAY = 3.142 *

Here the constant is truncated to 3 before assignment. The rules for arrays also apply to subarrays.

Page 90¶

3.50 STACK-INSTRUCTIONS (〈low〉) 〈high〉¶

This command, which is available on the ND-100 Debugger only, will increase the speed at which a :PROG file executes by up to 20%. In order to make those changes permanent, write W after you write PLACE and your file name. You must have an ND-100 CX computer, which has special instructions that can be used instead of the ENTER and LEAVE subroutines that are loaded from your language's library. You may want to change your run-time system as well.

Here is an example of how a chess program was made faster:

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

COMMANDS - DETAILED DESCRIPTION¶

3.51 STEP ((count)) () ()¶

This command is not available in the RT-Debugger.

Program execution will continue to the next step-point. Step-points can be defined by LOG-LINES or LOG-CALLS, but note that step-points are not needed if you want instruction-by-instruction stepping. The count parameter specifies the number of steps to take. If you use -1 as count parameter, you step through the program instruction by instruction. In this case, you can give a pair of absolute program addresses inside which you want to step as optional parameters. If you do not use this option, you will also make single-instruction steps inside subroutines belonging to, say, the run-time system called from the area you are debugging.

When you reach a step-point, the Debugger stops and outputs the current routine and line, and the segment number if you are debugging an ND-100 multi-segment program. If you then press ↵ (Carriage Return), you will continue one step at a time, as the count is cleared each time you enter a step-point. Otherwise, you may give some commands and then use STEP to go to the next step-point.

Example:

*LOG-LINES MAIN.110 ↵
*STEP 10 ↵
 MAIN.110

You may trace by writing:

*LOG-LINES ↵
*STEP 0 ↵

Your program will execute until it is finished, and every line executed will be listed.

If you want to step instruction by instruction, use STEP -1:

*LOG-LINES... ↵
*STEP -1 ↵
S0R5.000012B JPL I * 36 * ↵
034501B JXX * 4 * ↵
034505B LDA I * -24 * ↵

034507B SKP DA UEQ ST ↵
034510B JMP * 6 * ↵
034516B BSET ZRO SSPT

Each Carriage Return will advance you to the next instruction.

This command enables the user to gain control when the user program is executing. With USER-ESCAPE active, control is transferred to the debugger after pressing the ⟨ESC⟩ key.

3.53 USING-PREFIX ⟨Record name/Record Pointer name⟩¶

This command should only be used with the G version of the Symbolic Debugger on an ND-500/5000 machine.

The USING-PREFIX command enables you to inspect variables inside a Pascal "WITH" clause, or a Planc "USING" clause. The prefix that you enter will be expanded before every display item. The USING-PREFIX command entered without parameter, lists the current prefix.

The numbers followed by X, B, D, E, or H illustrate the method of writing a number followed by a radix specifier. The specifiers allowed and their meanings are:

suffix	number system	radix
X	binary numbers	base 2
B	octal numbers	base 8
D	decimal numbers	base 10
E	floating point	base 10
H	hexadecimal numbers	base 16

In order to avoid conflicts with identifiers, a hexadecimal constant must always start with a decimal digit (e.g., the constant C3 must be written as 0C3H).

A real constant must contain a decimal point or the letter E. An exponent may be specified, preceded by the letter E. A constant may be preceded by a sign. You should not use the suffixes for real constants.

Here are some examples:

.3  -3.  3.3  3E  3E5  3.E-5

The numbers 10#195#, 8#303#, etc., on page 85 were written by using the form:

base#number#exponent

The # appears as the number sign on some terminals, and as the English pound sign (£) on others. The base is always given in decimal form. Here is an example:

*DISPLAY 8#100#E4
  8#100#E4 = 2.6214400000000000E+05
*DISPLAY 100B 8 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8
  100B  8 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8=262144

The 8 is the base, 100 is the number, and E4 is the exponent. So 8#100#E4 is equal to 100₈ * (10₁₀)⁴, that is, 262144 or 100000B. Note that the exponent is always a base 10 number.

These are all ways of expressing the number 123.

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS¶

The Ada system lets you express numbers in the bases 2 to 16. Any underline characters (_) in the number between the number signs (# #) will be ignored. You may write 5000 million as

10#5_000_000_000#

This will reduce your chances of having too few or too many zeros in your number!

(This is a feature borrowed from the programming language Ada. Ada is a trademark of the U.S. Department of Defense.)

4.2 Single-Character Constants¶

A single-character constant is denoted by a number sign (#) followed by an ASCII character.

Here is an example from a PLANC program. I is an integer, and CODEX is a string whose length is 40.

*DISPLAY ^
I=0     PPRINT=NIL    PIRBYT= (NIL;0:0)
CODEX(1;40)   EXP= 0.0
*SET CODEX=#A; SET I=#Z ^
*DISPLAY CODEX, I ^
CODEX=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I=90

Note that the string gets filled with A's, while the integer is assigned the ASCII value of "Z", which is 90.

NOTE:

The Debugger will convert all
lowercase strings to uppercase strings.

4.3 String Constants¶

A string constant is preceded by and terminated with an apostrophe ('). Embedded apostrophes must be represented by a double apostrophe ('').

Here is an example with embedded apostrophes:

*DISPLAY CODEX ^
CODEX='This is a testAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*SET CODEX='Embedded ''quotes'' example' ^
*RUN ^

  Embedded 'quotes' exampleAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Page 98¶

4.4 Expressions¶

You will mainly use expressions for the DISPLAY and BREAK command, and the LOOK-AT commands. Expressions are formed from operators and operands. In conditional expressions, >, <, =, and <> are also available.

Operands may include constants (integer and real), variable names or identifiers, array indexing, subarray specification, record component selection and the dot notation described on page 90. Variable names may be any name from the compiled language, i.e., FORTRAN variables, PLANC identifiers, or COBOL identifiers with hyphens.

The available operators include +, -, SHIFT, *, /, **, IND and ADDR. The operator ** requires an integer exponent. On the ND-500, you can also use the operators MOD (which returns the remainder from integer divisions), TYPEOF (which returns the type of its argument) and SPECIAL (which makes it possible to use special Debugger words inside quotes, such as DISPLAY SPECIAL 'ind').

Blanks can be used anywhere in expressions to separate operators and identifiers. Expressions are separated by commas. Commands are separated by semicolons.

A hierarchical order of precedence exists for operators when they are evaluated in expressions.


**
* /
SHIFT + -
ADDR IND
.

Note that ADDR and IND are higher than . (dot) when referring to records, but are lower when the dot appears after a routine name. With operators at the same level, evaluation proceeds from left to right.

Examples:¶

*DISPLAY 4 * 2 + 4 4
- 4 * 2 + 4=12

*DISPLAY 4 * 2 + 4 ** 2 4
- 4 * 2 + 4 ** 2=24

*DISPLAY 2 ** 3 ** 2
- 2 ** 3 ** 2=64

You may use the IND and ADDR operators with or without parentheses around the operand, but ensure that the value of the operand can be directly evaluated. For example:

Wrong: display ind ind current.left
Right: display ind(ind current.left)

Evaluation takes place from left to right, but the contents of parentheses are evaluated before the rest of the expression.

Page 99¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS¶

Parentheses to force the last part of the latter expression to be evaluated before the first indirection.

In division, if both operands are integers, integer division is performed:

*DISPLAY 1/3 ⎣
 1/3=0
*DISPLAY 1/3.0 ⎡
 1/3.0= 3.3333333333333333E-01

IND can be used on any item that is a pointer.

Here is an example of IND and ADDR. In the following example, CURRENT is a PLANC pointer to a record. IND lists all the elements of the record pointed to by CURRENT. By inspecting the data address pointed to by CURRENT, we can also see the area where the record itself is stored.

*DISPLAY IND(CURRENT) ⎣
IND(CURRENT) = NAME(1:20) RESULT= 2.80000000
LEFT=NIL RIGHT=001032B
*DISPLAY CURRENT ⎡
CURRENT=001010B
*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(CURRENT) ⎡
D 000024B: 001010B 520 ⎡ ⎣
D 001010B: 000142B 98 ⎣ ⎡
P 001011B: 06754B 285⎡ ob ⎡

ADDR can be used on any item that has an address.

*DISPLAY ADDR(I) ⎣
ADDR(I)=01000000110B
*DISPLAY ADDR(PTRBYT) ⎡
ADDR(PTRBYT)=010000001110B

Here is an example of how you use SHIFT:

*SET DEC = 20 ⎣
*DISPLAY DEC SHIFT -1 ⎡
DEC SHIFT -1=10
*DISPLAY DEC SHIFT -2 ⎣
DEC SHIFT -2=5

Here are examples of conditional expressions:

*BREAK CALC CURRENT <> NIL ⎡
*BREAK MAIN. 75 X < 0 ⎡

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 100¶

4.5 Named Items¶

By named items we mean:

Modules
Routines
Labels
Lines
Identifiers

In PLANC, a named item is specified by a sequence of names separated by dots (.), corresponding to the static Module/Routine nesting in a program.

In COBOL, you may qualify with <program name>.<identifier>. In FORTRAN, you can use <routine name>.<identifier>.

By using the dot notation, you can separate variables which have the same name but are declared in different subroutines/subprograms from each other.

The dot notation is also used to retrieve record components in Pascal and PLANC. Expressions with two or more dots are evaluated from left to right.

Page 101¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS¶

Here is an example from PLANC. If you are not familiar with PLANC, you may want to know that a basic program unit in PLANC is a module, which consists of at least one routine (a program is a special type of routine), and that the modules may have both global and local variables with respect to the routines. The routine declarations may be nested to any level.

MODULE MOD1
INTEGER: J
...

    ROUTINE VOID,VOID: ROUT1
    INTEGER: I
    LABEL: RETRY
RETRY: I =: ATTEMPTS
    ...
    ENDROUTINE

    ...

    ROUTINE VOID,VOID: ROUT2
    INTEGER: I

        ROUTINE VOID,VOID: ROUT5
        ...
        ENDROUTINE

    ...
    ENDROUTINE

PROGRAM main
...
ENDROUTINE
ENDMODULE

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 102¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Symbolic Debugger Parameters¶

In the PLANC example, the various routines can be specified as:

MOD1.ROUT1
MOD1.ROUT2
MOD1.ROUT2.ROUT5

The two I’s can be specified by:

MOD1.ROUT1.I and MOD1.ROUT2.I

The label RETRY can be specified by:

ROUT1.RETRY

Line 50 in the main program can be specified by:

MAIN.50

However, in order to simplify the specifications, the name search is always done according to the "current scope". This means that, if you are in MOD1.ROUT2, you can write I, instead of MOD1.ROUT2.I.

The current scope always refers to the point where the last breakpoint occurred, unless the scope is explicitly changed by the SCOPE command.

Consider once more the above example and assume the current scope to be: MOD1.ROUT2, that is, inside the body of ROUT2. The name I causes the debugger to find the I declared in ROUT2, while ROUT1.I (or MOD1.ROUT1.I) must be used in order to find the I declared in ROUT1. The name J causes the debugger to search ROUT2 (with no success) and then the entire module where the global J is found.

In FORTRAN, a $ (dollar) sign is appended by the compiler in front of labels. For example, in:

10 GO TO 20

the label "10" is known to the debugger as "$10".

Note therefore that:


BREAK $10	breaks at label 10
while BREAK 10	breaks at line 10

FORTRAN statement functions cannot be referred to in the debugger (since they are expanded in-line by the compiler at the point of invocation).

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS¶

4.6 Program Area¶

We have an argument of the form:

name ([:name])

with which we can specify ranges within routines/modules.

where name is a routine, module, label, or line number. If the name is a routine or module name, the range includes the lines in that routine/module. A simple example of a program area is:

10:20

meaning lines 10 to 20 in the source code.

Here is another example, showing how an area specification is used with the LOG-lines command:

*LOG-LINES MAIN

which tells the debugger to log all lines inside the program/routine MAIN.

If an area is mandatory (as is the case with the LOG-LINES command), you will be prompted for it:

*LOG-LINES
PROGRAM AREA: MAIN.12 : $800

This specifies a program area starting at line 12 and ending at the FORTRAN label 800. Note that the second parameter is optional, and the way FORTRAN labels are specified using a dollar sign ($). If no last item is given, it is considered to be equal to the first.

Here is another example:

LOG-LINES MAIN.110
LOG-LINES MAIN.PROCINP.2 : MAIN.PROCINP.10
LOG-LINES ENTER
STEP

The program will execute until it encounters line 110 of MAIN, lines 2 to 10 of PROCINP or the label/routine called ENTER.

4.7 Program Address¶

A program address can be given as an octal number or in the form:

ADDR(routine-name.line-number)

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 104¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER PARAMETERS¶

Example:

*SCOPE  
M1.MPROG.10

ND-500:     *LOOK-AT-PROGRAM 100B  
            P 01000000100B: W3 =: R.044B:S  
            P 01000000102B: W STZ R.050B:S i  

ND-100:     *LOOK-AT-PROGRAM  
            PROGRAM ADDRESS: ADDR(LIST_PERSON)  
            P 003160B: 146547B -12953 MG COPY AD1 SL DX i

When we wrote ADDR(LIST_PERSON), we get the start address of the routine LIST_PERSON.

The Debugger cannot give you addresses to labels.

4.8 Data Address¶

Data addresses can also be given as octal numbers or in the form:

ADDR(variable)

Example:

*LOOK-AT-DATA  
DATA ADDRESS: ADDR(CODEX)  
D 01000000027B: 00000000000B O  
D 01000000033B: 00000000000B O i

Here is an example of using a data address to guard part of a string variable:

*LOG-LINES...  
*DISPLAY ADDR(NAMN)  
ADDR(NAMN)=(000266B;0:7)  
*GUARD  
ITEM OR ADDRESS: 266B  
*RUN  
GUARD VIOLATION AT MAIN.62

Here is another example:

*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(CURRENT.NAME)  
D 001010B: 000142B 98 b j  
*SET CURRENT.NAME='DEBUGGER'  
*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(CURRENT.NAME)  
D 001010B: 000104B 68 D  
D 001011B: 045202B 17730 EB  
D 001012B: 052507B 21831 UG  
D 001013B: 043505B 18245 GB  
D 001014B: 051040B 21024 R i

D 1'         3743B: 14533472000B 1701737472 ent

4.9 Format Specifier¶

A format specifier (also called a radix specifier) is one or more of the following letters:

O - Octal
D - Decimal
H - Hexadecimal
A - Alphanumerics (ASCII)
F - Floating point
I - Instruction (disassembly)

Here is an example:

*FORMATS-DISPLAY O D H  
*DISPLAY 84101#  
%101#=65 !H 101B

4.10 File Name¶

The file name will not be checked to see if the syntax is correct. A file name is terminated by ⎇ (Carriage Return), space, comma, or semicolon. If the file is already open, the octal file number can be used in place of the file name (octal number without B).

*OPEN-FILE TEMP:DATA ⎇  
 FILE NUMBER IS 000103  
 @LIST-OPEN-FILES ⎇  

 FILE NUMBER 000100 : (PACK-ONE:SCRATCH)SCRATCH05:DATA;1  
 FILE NUMBER 000101 : (PACK-TWO:DEBUG)EX:SYMB;1  
 FILE NUMBER 000102 : (PACK-TWO:DEBUG)FORMAT:TEXT;1  
 FILE NUMBER 000103 : (PACK-TWO:DEBUG)TEMP:DATA;1

Here is a more substantial program; it sorts an array quickly.

The program that follows consists of two separate modules in two files. It was compiled and loaded as follows:

Examples¶

Since the bounds of the array were wrong in the beginning of the routine QUIKSORT, we investigate the code immediately before QUIKSORT is called and find that lines 40 and 41 were transposed. They should have appeared in the order:

quicksort(arr(high + 1 : top))
high - 1 =: top

5.4 Using a File as a Segment¶

On the ND-500, you can achieve faster I/O by opening a file as a segment.

In the following example, a file is opened as a segment, and the numbers 1 to 2560 are written to it:

PROGRAM FILESEG
C     OPEN FILE AS SEGMENT
      INTEGER MEM (2560)
      WRITE (1,*) 'WILL ATTEMPT TO OPEN FISH:DATA FOR WX ACCESS'
      OPEN (13, FILE='FISH:DATA', ACCESS='WX', MODE='SEGMENT')
      DO 2 K = 1, 2560
          MEM(K) = K
          WRITE(13,*) MEM(K)
2     CONTINUE
      DO 3 K = 1, 10
          WRITE (1,*) K, MEM(K)
3     CONTINUE
      CLOSE(13)
      WRITE (1,*) 'END OF PROGRAM'
      END

No special procedures were needed to load the above program:

@END LINKAGE-LOADER
ABORT-BATCH-ON-ERROR OFF
RELEASE-DOMAIN TEST
DELETE-DOMAIN TEST
SET-DOMAIN TEST
LOAD TEST
LIST-SEG TEST
END
EXIT

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 118¶

5.5 Using a File as a Segment for a COMMON Area¶

The following program uses the monitor call FSCNT to connect a file as a segment. It uses a common area that is placed on the file connected as a segment. Thus every time the common area is accessed, that segment will be accessed.

If you debug the program below and give the command:

*LOOK-AT-DATA ADDR(I)

You will see that the address starts with 07 because the file uses segment 7.

PROGRAM TESTSEG
INTEGER ACC, SEGNO, IOPENF
COMMON TEKST
CHARACTER*10 TEKST(20,100)
IOPENF = 10
SEGNO = 7
WRITE(1,*) 'WILL ATTEMPT TO OPEN FISH:DATA FOR WX ACCESS'
C The file FISH:DATA must already exist, be large enough
C to hold the array TEKST, and contain some text.
OPEN(IOPENF,FILE='FISH:DATA', ACCESS='WX')
C Get SINTRAN file number related to IOPENF.
I = LDN(IOPENF)
C You must be able to read from and write to the segment.
ACC = 2
C Don't use 0, 1, 2, 3, 26D, or 30D as SEGNO if you will debug.
CALL FSCNT(I,SEGNO,ACC,IACTNO)
C Remember to use N11: COMMON-SEGMENT-NUMBER 7,, in loading.
WRITE(1,*) 'The following segment has been connected:'
WRITE(1,*) IACTNO
WRITE(1,*)
DO 10 J = 1, 10
DO 20 K = 1, 100, 10
TEKST(J,K) = 'AAAAAAAAA'
20 CONTINUE
10 CONTINUE
CALL FSBCNT(I,SEGNO)
CLOSE(IOPENF)
WRITE (1,*) 'END OF PROGRAM'
END

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 119¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

EXAMPLES¶

The above program can be loaded as follows:

@CREATE-FILE TEST:NRF 0
@END FORTRAN
DEBUG-MODE ON
COMPILE TEST,TERMINAL,TEST
EXIT
@END LINKAGE-LOADER
ABORT-BATCH-ON-ERROR OFF
RELEASE-DOMAIN TEST
DELETE-DOMAIN TEST
SET-DOMAIN "TEST"
COMMON-SEGMENT-NUMBER 7
COMMON-SEGMENT-OPEN "TEST-SEG"
LOAD TEST
LIST-SEG TEST
END
EXIT
@

Since segment 7 was specified in the monitor call FSCNT, segment 7 must also be specified in the COMMON-SEGMENT-NUMBER example.

If you are going to debug a program that uses a COMMON segment, we suggest that you do not use the following common segment numbers:

0, 1, 2, 3, 26D, and 30D

That is because they are being used by the Debugger or the FORTRAN library.

ERROR MESSAGES¶

6.1 Error Messages Common to the ND-100 and the ND-500 Versions¶

Here are the error messages common to all Debuggers and what they mean:

WARNING MULTIPLE OCCURRENCE OF MODULE "N"

You have several modules with the same name. The debugger will assume that you have reloaded. Only the last occurrence of "N" will be recognized as valid.

AMBIGUOUS COMMAND

Self-explanatory.

ASSEMBLER ERROR

Followed by an assembler error message. This can occur when using the CODE subcommand of LOOK-AT.

ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE BY ZERO

You are trying to divide by zero in the expression that you want to evaluate.

B REGISTER NOT INITIALIZED

Unable to LOOK-AT-STACK because the B-register is not initialized. You must have started the program before you can use the LOOK-AT-STACK command.

BAD EXPRESSION

Syntax error in expression. You may have a type conflict, for instance if you try to add an integer to a pointer. Another possibility is an uneven number of parentheses. See page 88 to find the rules for expression formation.

BAD LINE DEBUG ELEMENT; DEBUG TABLE ADDRESS: xxxxxB

Error in the debug-information generated by the compiler. It is possible that the debug information has been destroyed. Try recompilation and loading.

BAD LINE NUMBER

Syntax error in specified line number. A line number can be any valid decimal number.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 128¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Error Messages¶

BAD MODULE/ENDMODULE NESTING¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler.

BAD RECORD/ENDRECORD NESTING¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

BAD ROUTINE/ENDROUTINE NESTING¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

BAD STRING CONSTANT¶

You may have forgotten the final apostrophe in the string.

COMMAND LINE/MACRO BUFFER FULL¶

The command line is too long, or too many macros are defined. This message may also occur during macro expansion.

COMPONENT NOT IN SPECIFIED RECORD¶

Self-explanatory. You may have misspelled the record component name.

ERROR: n¶

Error number n from SINTRAN III or ND-500 Monitor. There is no error text for this error number. The right place to look to find out what this error means is the manual SINTRAN III Monitor Calls, ND-60.228.

ILLEGAL DEBUG ELEMENT TYPE; DEBUG TABLE ADDRESS: xxxxxB¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

ILLEGAL DEBUG TABLE ADDRESS (xxxxxB) IN "FIND"¶

Internal consistency error in the Debugger. The error should be reported.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 129¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

ERROR MESSAGES¶

ILLEGAL TERMINATION¶

Illegal termination of the command line. You have probably used the wrong type or number of parameters.

ILLEGAL TERMINATION OF ARGUMENT¶

Illegal termination of a command parameter. The command parameter must be terminated by a "J" (carriage return), " " (space), "," (comma) or ";" (semicolon).

INDEX "n" IS OUTSIDE ARRAY¶

Index outside range in array access.

INDIRECTION NOT LEGAL¶

Indirection in LOOK-AT not legal for this step size. In the ND-100, you may step through the code two words at a time, if you have given the LOOK-AT subcommand DOUBLE-WORD, and in the ND-500, you may step through the code/data one byte or half-word at a time, if you have given the LOOK-AT subcommands BYTE or HALF-WORD. But if you want to use the "/" (slash) command to move to a new location, you must have a word-size argument.

LIMITS NOT LEGAL FOR THIS TYPE¶

Can occur in the GUARD command; low:high is not legal for this item type. Limits are only legal for pointers, integers, enumerations and boolean types.

LINE TRANSLATION TABLE FULL¶

Too many areas specified in ALIGN-LISTING.

LINK-INFORMATION INACCESSIBLE¶

Can occur with the BREAK-RETURN command when no return address can be found.

MODULES/ROUTINES TOO DEEPLY NESTED¶

Too deep nesting of modules and/or routines in the debug information.

NO ACTIVE ROUTINES¶

You do not have a subroutine in scope at present. To get an active breakpoint, you must set a breakpoint in a subroutine and RUN the program until execution stops at that breakpoint.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 130¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Error Messages¶

No Debug Information Available¶

You probably did not compile your program, or a part of it, in debug mode. Otherwise, you may have forgotten to PLACE a :PROG-file or to give an ATTACH-SEGMENT command.

No Such Command¶

No Such Register Name¶

Not a Variant of the Specified Record¶

The three above error messages are self-explanatory. They are most likely to result from misspellings.

Not Found¶

Usually preceded by a name, e.g., "SUBR" NOT FOUND. You may be in a different module or routine than you think you are, or your code has been compiled without the DEBUG mode on.

Outside Program¶

You are trying to access a program address which is outside the range of addresses that the Debugger will allow.

Routine Inactive¶

Routine inactive (no current stack frame allocated).

String Constant Too Long¶

The maximum length of a string constant is 80 characters.

Terminal Occupied¶

An RT-program or another user is using the terminal that you want to reserve for debugging your program. Make the user or RT-program release the terminal, or reserve another.

Too Many Indices¶

Too many indices in the array reference as compared to the array declaration.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 131¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

ERROR MESSAGES¶

WRONG ENUMERATION-TYPE NESTING¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

WRONG TYPE OR INACCESSIBLE¶

Item is of wrong type (e.g., REAL used as an array index) or inaccessible at this point in the program (e.g., local variable in inactive routine).

6.2 Error Messages Which Apply to the ND-100 Version¶

DATA AT DATA ADDRESS "" IS NOT STORED ON THE PROG-FILE¶

Attempt to modify a part of the data area that is not stored on the :PROG file. This can only happen when PLACE <file>,W has been used.

DATA AT PROGRAM ADDRESS "" IS NOT STORED ON THE PROG-FILE¶

Attempt to modify a part of the program that is not stored on the :PROG file. Can only happen when PLACE <file>,W has been used.

NO MORE DATA SEGMENTS AVAILABLE¶

Too many Debuggers are active at the same time. Each active Debugger uses one data segment. The maximum number of active Debuggers is specified when your SINTRAN III is generated. You should use the EXIT command to leave the Debugger. If you use the ESCAPE key, the data segment may not be released for use by others.

NO PROGRAM FILE SPECIFIED¶

You need to use the PLACE command to read in a program file.

NOT WRITE ACCESS TO PROGRAM FILE¶

Self-explanatory.

RESTART IMPOSSIBLE¶

Execution of the program has terminated, and it cannot be restarted. Exit the debugger and start over again.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 132¶

Use LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES¶

This command requires the use of LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES. Remember CHECK-OUT-MODE can only be used after you have specified LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES. On the ND-100, GUARD can only be used after LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES.

6.3 Error Messages Which Apply to RT Debugging¶

ILLEGAL SEGMENT NUMBER...“n”

SINTRAN III does not recognize this as a valid segment number.

NO ACTIVE BREAKPOINT

No ND-100 RT program has reached a breakpoint yet.

NO RT-PROGRAM WITH THIS NAME

Self-explanatory.

NO SEGMENT ATTACHED

Self-explanatory.

6.4 Error Messages Which Apply to ND-100 Multi-Segment Programs¶

ILLEGAL SEGMENT NUMBER...“n”

SINTRAN III does not recognize this as a valid segment number.

NO MAIN SEGMENT ATTACHED (ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT)

You are trying to start your multi-segment system without having specified your main program segment. You must give an ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT command.

NO SEGMENT ATTACHED

You must attach your reentrant segments with the ATTACH-REENTRANT-SEGMENT command before trying to do a REENTRANT-PLACE.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 133¶

SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

ERROR MESSAGES¶

NO SUCH REENTRANT SYSTEM NAME¶

NO SUCH SEGMENT NAME "*"¶

These messages are likely to be caused by misspellings or erroneous deletions of segments etc..

PROTECTED COMMAND, CANNOT BE USED FROM USER "*" ONLY FROM USER SYSTEM OR RT¶

You must be logged in on SINTRAN user SYSTEM or RT to be able to debug multi-segment systems.

SINGLE INSTRUCTION STEP NOT ALLOWED¶

You cannot single-step across a segment boundary.

UNKNOWN BREAK SEGMENT¶

You are trying to break on a segment which is not attached.

UNKNOWN BREAK-RETURN SEGMENT¶

You are trying to return to a segment which is not attached.

USE LOG-CALLS OR LOG-LINES¶

This command requires the use of LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES.
On the ND-100, GUARD can only be used after LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES.

6.5 Error Messages Which Apply to the ND-500 Version¶

AMBIGUOUS TRAP CONDITION¶

You must type enough characters to make the name of the trap unambiguous.

ATTEMPT TO ACCESS NONEXISTENT DATA SEGMENT¶

You can find the data address ranges from the load map that the Linkage-Loader prints.

ATTEMPT TO ACCESS NONEXISTENT DEBUG INFORMATION¶

You can find the debug information address ranges from the load map that the Linkage-Loader prints.

Page 134¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Error Messages¶

Attempt to Access Nonexistent Program Segment¶

You can find the program address ranges from the load map that the Linkage-Loader prints.

Attempt to Modify Read-Only Segment¶

Attempt to Set Breakpoint on Read-Only Segment¶

The two errors above should be reported.

Bad Operand Code; Debug Table Address: xxxxxB¶

Error in the debug information generated by the compiler. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

Connect Called with Bad Access Code " "¶

Internal consistency error in the debugger. Ensure that you do not have a new version of the compiler and an old version of the debugger. If nothing helps, report the error.

Error in Monitor Call¶

Error message from the ND-500 Monitor. Use the AUTOMATIC-ERROR-MESSAGE command in the ND-500 Monitor if further information is required. The right place to look to find out what this error means is the manual SINTRAN III Monitor Calls, ND-60.228.

Illegal Base in Numeric Literal¶

When using Ada-syntax in constants, the base must be in the range 2:16.

Impossible to Invoke Routine; Stack Overflow¶

INVOKE command not executed; not enough room left in the stack. Expand the stack and recompile.

Invalid Operator "<>"¶

Try "><" instead.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 135¶

Symbolic Debugger User Guide¶

Error Messages¶

No DSEG-File Opened or Connected for Segment "*"¶

No Link File Opened or Connected for Segment "*"¶

No PSEG-File Open or Connected for Segment "*"¶

The three error messages above are internal consistency errors that should be reported.

No Such Trap Condition¶

Check the manual for trap conditions. You will also find an in-depth explanation of the trap system in ND-500 Reference Manual, ND-05.009.

Outside Data Segment¶

Attempt to access beyond the available address space (on an existing data segment). A very likely source of trouble here is an uninitialized pointer address.

Outside Program Segment¶

Attempt to access beyond the available address space (on an existing program segment).

Programmed-Trap Failed (Not Enabled?)¶

The Debugger is unable to start your program because the "programmed-trap" (no. 29) has been disabled or is not working. This error should be reported.

Segment Number Must Be in the Range 0:31¶

An ND-500 program consists of one domain with up to 32 different segments, numbered 0:31 (decimal). The first five bits in an address gives the segment number. You have tried to give a segment number outside this five-bit range.

This SINTRAN III Command is Not Allowed from the ND-500¶

Some SINTRAN III commands cannot be given via the command processor of the Symbolic Debugger, so the Debugger gives this error message instead.

Norsk Data ND-60.158.5 EN

Page 136¶

SYMBOIC DEBUGGER USER GUIDE¶

ERROR MESSAGES¶

TOO MANY FILES OPENED¶

The Debugger is unable to open all the files needed.
You cannot open more than 957 files when running under the Debugger.

TOO MANY NESTED INCLUDE-COMMANDS¶

When reading macros from files and executing them, nested
execution of INCLUDE-commands is possible, but only 6 times.

TOO MANY NESTED MACRO-EXPANSION¶

Macros may contain other macros, but such nesting can only
occur 5 times.

UNABLE TO SWITCH DEVICE¶

You are trying to reserve another terminal, but your version
of SINTRAN does not support this Debugger feature. It is only
possible to give the RESERVE-TERMINAL command if you have
SINTRAN III version K or later versions.

USE LOG-CALLS OR LOG-LINES¶

This command requires the use of LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES.
Remember CHECK-OUT-MODE can only be used after you have
specified LOG-CALLS or LOG-LINES.

6.6 Note on Error Returns on the ND-100¶

The ND-100 (if started by the Symbolic Debugger) will enter the Debugger when it stops, for instance if the stack overflows. The following messages may occur:

PROGRAM TERMINATED AT current scope
ASSERT VIOLATION AT current scope
STACK OVERFLOW AT current scope
INDEX RANGE ERROR AT current scope
WRONG NO. OF PARAMETERS AT current scope

After these messages have occurred, the Debugger can still be used, but you cannot run the program.
