Debugging Emulated CM Code 

Debugging emulated CM code is relatively straightforward.  Since each CM
instruction is fetched and emulated, it is necessary to know only where
you wish to set a breakpoint.

For emulated CM code you can break at any instruction:

     $ cmdebug > B PROC+%6 
     $ cmdebug > B PROC+%10 
     $ cmdebug > B PROC+%15 

The debugger places a special BRKP instruction at the specified
addresses.  When an emulated breakpoint is encountered, the emulator
traps it into Debug before the original instruction is emulated.  The
environment variable entry_mode is set to "cm", and the user enters
CMDebug.
