System Debug Interface Commands and Intrinsics
HPSETDUMP Intrinsic
user may choose to resume the process or have it terminate (see the CONTINUE command in
chapter 4).
If the cause of the abort is a stack overflow, the command list is ignored and a stack trace is
sent to $STDLIST, after which the process is terminated with no interactive debugging
allowed.
Refer to the MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual for additional discussion of this
intrinsic.
Condition Codes
This intrinsic does not return meaningful condition code values. Status information is
returned in the optional
status parameter described above.
Example
Assume that a file called ABORTCMD contains a set of Debug commands to be used when a
process abort occurs.
A process abort in the following procedure opens a list file, performs a stack trace, executes
the commands from the use file, and closes the list file:
PROCEDURE myproc{};
VAR
status : integer;
debug_cmds : string[255];
BEGIN
debug_cmds := '\list errfile;tr,dual;use abortcmd;list close\';
hpsetdump(status, debug_cmds);
IF (status <> 0) THEN
error_routine(status, 'HPSETDUMP');
.
. <code in this area is protected with the "setdump" facility>
.
hpresetdump(status);
IF (status <> 0) THEN
error_routine(status, 'HPRESETDUMP');
END;
