Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add single stepping option for all targets


From: Stefan Weil
Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add single stepping option for all targets
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:35:05 +0100
User-agent: Mozilla-Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090103)

This is an update of my patch which adds a new command line
option -singlestep, now for both system and user mode.

So it now respects the feedback from Stuart, Laurent and
Aurelien who all wanted user mode support, too.

There remains one open feedback point which I did not
understand - see below.

I hope the patch will be added to trunk finally...

Regards
Stefan Weil

Today -d does not take suboptions.
Could you please explain your proposal with more details?

Stefan

Add new command line option -singlestep for tcg single stepping.

This replaces a compile time option for some targets and adds
this feature to targets which did not have a compile time option.

Add monitor command to enable or disable single step mode.

Modify monitor command "info status" to display single step mode.
