14.13.4 Printing CFM and PFS registers

On Integrity systems, HP WDB prints Current Frame Marker (CFM) and Previous Frame State (PFS) ar64 registers in two different formats:

•raw values

•special formats identifying the size of rotating registers, frame and locals.

For example,

ar64: 0xc00000000000050c (sor:0, sol:10, sof:12)

cfm: 0x800000000000450a (sor:1, sol:10, sof:10)

14.14 Command to Search for a Pattern in the Memory Address Space

The HP WDB find command searches for a pattern in the given memory address range for both live and corefile debugging. Following is the syntax for the find command:

find [/size-char] [/max-count] start-address, end-address, expr1 [, expr2 ...]

find [/size-char] [/max-count] start-address, +length, expr1 [, expr2 ...]

where:
/size-char	Specifies the size of the pattern. It can be b, h, w, or g for
	8-, 16-, 32-, 64-bit values, respectively. It is applicable only
	for hexadecimal patterns.
	If /size-charis not specified, the size is obtained from
	the type of the expression in the current programming
	language.
	This is an optional parameter.
/max-count	Specifies the maximum number of matching patterns to
	be displayed. This is an optional parameter.
start-address	Specifies the start address in the given memory address
	range. This parameter is mandatory.
end-address	Specifies the end address in the given memory address
	range. This parameter is mandatory.
