Re: [Gems-users] Breakpoint at set number of memory references

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Put code like this into Ruby, probably into the profiler, or wherever 
your stat of interest is located in the general case (spelling may not 
be correct)
if( m_nDataRequests > THRESHOLD ) {
 char strbuff[128];
 snprintf( strbuff, 127, "%i memory references observed", THRESHOLD );
 SIMICS_break_simulation( strbuff );
}

Have a look at ruby/simics/interface.h to see if I spelled 
SIMICS_break_simulation correctly.

Dan
