Returns the NM breakpoint index for the NM breakpoint that has been set at the specified NM code address.

Syntax

   nmbpindex (virtaddr [pin])

This function accepts the address of an existing NM breakpoint and returns the logical index number associated with that breakpoint. The default action is to look for breakpoints set by the current PIN. Breakpoint indices for other PINs (including the global PIN) may be retrieved by using the optional pin parameter.

Formal Declaration

   nmbpindex:u32 (virtaddr:ptr [pin:s16=0])

Parameters

virtaddr

The address of an NM breakpoint whose index is to be returned.

Virtaddr can be a short or long pointer.

pin

Look for breakpoints set by this PIN. Default is the caller's PIN (a pin of 0 implies this). To specify system (global) breakpoints, use a -1 (or 32762) as the PIN.

Examples

    $nmdebug > bl

    NM      [1] PROG $ c3.56d80   test_screen+$ab3

    NM      [2] PROG $ c3.4cf18   test_files

    NM     @[1] SYS  $ a.004b9130 FOPEN

First, list the existing breakpoints.

    $nmdebug > wl nmbpindex(test_files)

    $2

Find the NM breakpoint index associated with the address test_files.

   $nmdebug > wl nmbpindex(FOPEN)

   No breakpoint exists in the breakpoint tables with that address.  

   (error #1080)

   Error evaluating a predefined function.  (error #4240)

     function is"nmbpindex"

       wl nmbpindex(FOPEN)

Now, go find the breakpoint index for the breakpoint at FOPEN . In this example we get an error. This is because we did not specify pin and thus searched only for process local breakpoints. We do not have a process local breakpoint at FOPEN.

   $nmdebug > wl nmbpindex(FOPEN, -1)

   $1

Find the breakpoint index for the breakpoint at FOPEN . This time we specify a -1 to tell the function to search the list of system breakpoints.

Limitations, Restrictions

none
