RealView® Debugger Essentials Guide 5.12.3. History file

5.12.3. History file

The history file contains a record of:

Commands submitted during a debugging session, for example, changing directory, loading source files, loading an image for execution, or setting breakpoints.
Breakpoints are only added to the history list if they are set using breakpoint dialog boxes, for example the Set Address/Data Breakpoint or the Simple Break if X dialog box. If you set a breakpoint in another way, for example using a CLI command, this is not added to the list. See the chapter that describes working with breakpoints in RealView Debugger v1.8 User Guide for more details.
Data entries examined in the Code window during debugging.
The Set Directory and Set File lists used in Open dialog boxes, for example Select File to Open, or Select File to Include Commands from.
Up to 32 personal favorites such as variables, data values, watches, and breakpoints.

The first time you run RealView Debugger, carry out an operation (for example open a file or load an image) and then exit, a history file is created in your home directory. By default, this is called exphist.sav and is updated at the end of all subsequent debugging sessions.

Note

If you are using RealView Debugger on non-Windows platforms, the history file is only created if you create and save a favorite, for example a breakpoint or watchpoint. See Appendix B RealView Debugger for Sun Solaris and Red Hat Linux in RealView Debugger v1.8 User Guide for details.
