Chapter 12: Debugger Commands
Memory Block_Operation Test
Memory Block_Operation Test
The Memory Block_Operation Test command examines the specified memory
locations specified by < addr..addr> to verify that the value(s) defined by
< expr> or < expr_string> exist throughout the specified memory area. When
the debugger finds a mismatch, it displays the mismatched address and value.
The size qualifier (Byte, Word, or Long) specifies the size of an expression or
expression in a string.
If you enter a single expression value, the debugger tests the memory area for
that value. If you specify an expression string, the debugger tests the memory
area to verify that it is filled with the values found in the expression string.
You can specify expression strings either as ASCII characters enclosed in
quotation marks or as a list of values separated by commas. If they do not
evenly fit the specified size, all expressions in an expression string will be
padded with zero-valued bytes to the size specified by the size qualifier.
Once Qualifier
If you specify the Once qualifier, the test stops when a mismatch is found. If
you execute the Memory Block_Operation Test command with the Once
qualifier specified, subsequent Memory Block_Operation Test . . . Once
commands that are specified without parameters will continue testing through
the address range originally specified, beginning with the last address tested. A
Memory Block_Operation Test command given without parameters continues
