I use z/XDC a lot, and I've had SET TRAP2 in my start-up script since I found out about it. It has worked seamlessly for me. The only visible difference is seeing x'01FF' at breakpoints rather than x'00'.
And it's great that ZDC and other debuggers figured out how to exploit the facility. I'm still curious about the conditional trap instructions, e.g. LAT, CIT. They have programming notes that imply they're intended for use in try-blocks, or assert. I have no idea if any current compilers use them. sas On Thu, Mar 2, 2023 at 3:06 AM David Cole <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ed, > > WRT "ColeSoft acquired zDebug many years ago" I > don't recall that we ever did that. > > WRT "and incorporated much of that technology > into z/XDC."
