[Gems-users] Debugging in Ruby

[James Wang <jameswang99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:
    I am trying to write a transactional memory protocol, and I am having trouble to make sense of a few transactions, and I would like to stop execution when particular memory location is modified. Is this possible to do in Ruby, or Simics? 
    I am also interested in using the tester.exec to run transactional traces. How do I do it? What's the short hand for Begin/End Transaction? Where can I find more documentations?
    Thanks for any comment in advance.
 
Regards 
James

Ruby, by default, doesn't track data values when running with Simics.  There 
is a flag to control this however (DATA_BLOCK or something like that).
