Method Detail

setProcessor

public void setProcessor(Processor processor)

Part of interlock sequence. Gets called from the processor on setting the debugger. In case a debugger instance is removed from a processor it will receive this call with a null argument.

Parameters:

processor - The processor that this debugger can control. It is possible to receive null here, meaning that the debugger currently is not linked to a processor and thus not active.

step

public void step(int pc)

Called by the processor in single step mode. The operation doesn't define which thread will execute this callback. In case a user interface is controlled from here take care for possible synchronisation needs.

Parameters:

pc - The current program counter.
