ABSTRACT:
A method includes generating an instruction address value in response to an instruction source event. The method further includes selectively generating a breakpoint request based on the instruction source event and responsive to a comparison of the instruction address value to a breakpoint address value. In one embodiment, selectively generating a breakpoint request includes comparing the instruction source event to an instruction source event type, comparing the instruction address value to a breakpoint address value, and generating the breakpoint request responsive to a match between the first instruction source event type and the instruction source event and a match between the instruction address value and the breakpoint address value.
