Re: "which function is called when updating a register?"


Hi

I set breakpoints on both:

	-- gdbsim_fetch_register and
      -- gdbsim_store_register

  when single stepping the instruction execution, I noticed that
gdbsim_fetech_register was called but gdbsim_store_register.

  Which function is actually called to update a register content within gdb
using a built-in simulator?

GDB rarely has the need to write to the inferiors registers (if it did gdbsim_store_register would be called though). Try something like:
set $pc = 0
When the simulator is running a program it updates registers locally and directly.
