| |
| <p>If you request too many active hardware-assisted breakpoints and |
| watchpoints, you will see this error message: |
| |
| <!-- FIXME: the precise wording of this message may change; the relevant --> |
| <!-- source change is not committed yet (Sep 3, 1999). --> |
| <pre class="smallexample"> Stopped; cannot insert breakpoints. |
| You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints and watchpoints. |
| </pre> |
| <p class="noindent">This message is printed when you attempt to resume the program, since |
| only then <span class="sc">gdb</span> knows exactly how many hardware breakpoints and |
| watchpoints it needs to insert. |
| |
| <p>When this message is printed, you need to disable or remove some of the |
| hardware-assisted breakpoints and watchpoints, and then continue. |
