4.5. Debugging Facilities

The GNU debugger, gdb, as customized for M1750 Ada, offers many features for debugging both at the high-level language level and with machine code.

Using the host-target link and the XGC monitor, the debugger can debug programs running on a remote target.

M1750 Ada includes a target simulator that accurately simulates the target instruction set and timing. The simulator includes the following features:

• Simulates the entire M1750 Microprocessor instruction set

• Simulates instruction timing, including wait states

• Prints statistics giving execution time, number of instructions in each class, number of nullified instructions

• Prints task state information

• Prints test coverage information, either for the whole program or for a given source file

• Supports system calls
