HP Ski Simulator, IA-64 manual Simulator Status and Error Messages

Ski IA-64 Simulator Reference Manual 1.0L

Breakpoint #%d wasn’t set

You used the bd command to delete a specific breakpoint but that breakpoint doesn’t exist. Did you specify the right breakpoint? Use the bl command to list the breakpoints. See “Deleting Program Breakpoints” on page 8-5and per- haps “Listing Program Breakpoints” on page 8-5.

Cannot access registers outside current frame

You tried to use the = command to assign a new value to a register that isn’t in the set of registers currently visible to your program. The only registers for which this can occur are the General Registers (gr) and their NaT bits. Ski faithfully implements IA-64 register stacking and rotation. Look at the most recent ALLOC instruction.

Cannot open file %s (%s) for %s

This generic error message indicates that Ski tried to open a file and failed. The first %s field is replaced with the file- name you provided, the second %s field is replaced with the filename Ski tried to use after tilde expansion, and the third %s field is replaced with the mode Ski tried to use, either “ reading”, “ writing”, or “ appending”. Check that you typed the filename correctly and that the directories you specified are accessible. Is there a permissions problem or a network failure, perhaps? See “Filenames” on page 4-5.

Construct DWARF image: can’t find .debug_info section

You told Ski to load a program. Ski couldn’t find the part of the executable file containing source code line number information. As a result, Ski won’t be able to show source code in the Program Window. See “Program Window Commands” on page 5-2.

Could not open %s for reading

You told Ski to load a program but Ski couldn’t open the file you specified. Perhaps you specified a file that is doesn’t exist or a pathname that includes non-existent or inaccessible directories? See “Program Loading” on page 6-3.

couldn’t find label %s

A command file tried to use the goto command but Ski can’t find the label to which the goto refers. The %s field is replaced with the label. Perhaps the label is spelled incorrectly? See “The goto Command and Labels” on page 9-1.

Couldn’t open file ‘%s’. Was ski started in the right directory?

Ski loaded a program to simulate, per your request, and tried to access source code pointed to by that program. But, for some reason, Ski couldn’t open the specified file. This can happen, for example, if files have been moved after compilation. See “Summary of Program Window Commands” on page 5-2.

Couldn’t open instruction count file

You started bski with the -icntoption but bski couldn’t open the file you specified. Perhaps you specified a file that is write-protected or a pathname that includes non-existent or inaccessible directories? See “Using bski for Batch Simulations” on page 2-2and “Command Line Flags” on page 2-4.

Data larger than a %s. Truncated to 0x%llx

You used the =, =1, =2, =4, or =8 commands to write data to a register or to memory. You provided more data than would fit, so Ski truncated the excess most significant part away and used the least significant part. The %s field on the left is how many bytes Ski needed. The %llx field on the right is the value after truncation. See “Changing Reg- isters and Memory with Assignment Commands” on page 8-1.

Error reading ‘%s’ line: %d

Ski tried to display the source code corresponding to an IA-64 program you loaded. For some reason, it failed to read a line from the file represented by the %s field, at the line number represented by the %d field. Perhaps the file per-
