Description Teresa Thomas 2008-05-23 17:03:58 UTC 
Example types:
double or long long on IA32, an array of size 32 on X86_64

Requires multiple watchpoint registers watching one variable or datatype.

Note:
IA32 has 4 debug regs that can watch 4 bytes each
x86_64 has 4 debug registers that can watch 8 bytes each
Comment 1 Teresa Thomas 2008-05-23 21:01:32 UTC
