-------
Lisabug allows the user to create up to 10 timing
buckets. Using the microsecond timer in Drivers,
time is accumulated in each bucket and is saved
along with a count of the number of times the
bucket was entered.
The typical sequence.would be as follows:
Page 1
1) Enter the debugger for a given process and create
one or more timing buckets (with the TB command).
2) Set a break point to stop execu'tion at some point.
3) Go.
4) When the breakpoint is reached print the timing
summary (with the PT command).
5) Use the End Timing command to remove all buckets.
The new commands are as follows:
BT expr
The Begin Timing specifies the process number.
If the Begin Timing command is not given the
current process is assumed. A process number
of zero can be used to indicate domain O.
TB addrl addr2
A Timing Bucket is created from addrl to addr2.
PT
Print Timing summary. There are five columns
printed as follows:
1) Bucket number
2) Total time in this bucket
3) Number of times this bucket was entered
4) Starting address for this bucket
5) Ending address for this bucket
End Timing prints tne timing summary and removes
all of the timing buckets.
KB expr
Kill Bucket can be used to remove a single bucket.
RT
Reset Times will reset the timing and count tables
leaving the current definition of the bucKets intact.
NOTES:
1) All addresses are in the same process.
2) The process number is defined by either the BT
command or the first TB, PT, KB or RT command.
If the process number is not given in the BT
command the current process is assumed.
Sysmgr
The Sysmgr has been modified so that the connection
with the Apple is more rel iable. To establ ish the
Page 2
connection with the Apple do the following:
1) Type ~A~
2) Type ~y~
3) Boot the Apple with either
the WAKEUP disK or
a Monitor boot disK and type A
4) After the Apple is booted type
The Sysmgr has been modified such that if YOU turn
off your machine with the reboot option without the
date/time set, the Sysmgr will no longer start the
clock for you. This means that if the clock is not
set your machine will not automatically reboot.
