Debugging emulated CM code is relatively straightforward. Since each CM instruction is fetched and emulated, it is necessary to know only where you wish to set a breakpoint.

For emulated CM code you can break at any instruction:

   $ cmdebug > B PROC+%6

   $ cmdebug > B PROC+%10

   $ cmdebug > B PROC+%15

The debugger places a special BRKP instruction at the specified addresses. When an emulated breakpoint is encountered, the emulator traps it into Debug before the original instruction is emulated. The environment variable entry_mode is set to "cm", and the user enters CMDebug.
