Setting Evaluation Points

To set an evaluation point:

1. Display the Action Point > Properties dialog box. You can do this, for example, by right-clicking on a

   

   icon and selecting Properties or by selecting a line and then invoking the command from the menu bar.
    
2. Select the Evaluate button.
    
3. Select the button (if it is not already selected) for the language in which you will code the fragment.
    
4. Type the code fragment. For information on supported C, Fortran, and assembler language constructs, refer to Writing Code Fragments.
    
5. For multiprocess programs, decide whether to share the evaluation point among all processes in the program's share group. By default, TotalView selects the Plant in share group check box for multiprocess programs, but you can override this by deselecting it.
    
6. Select the OK button to confirm your changes. If the code fragment has an error, TotalView displays an error message. Otherwise, it processes the code, closes the dialog box, and places an

   

   icon in the tag field.
