<a name="index-Zilog-Z8000-simulator"></a>
<p>When configured for debugging Zilog Z8000 targets, <small>GDB</small> includes
a Z8000 simulator.
</p>
<p>For the Z8000 family, &lsquo;<samp>target sim</samp>&rsquo; simulates either the Z8002 (the
unsegmented variant of the Z8000 architecture) or the Z8001 (the
segmented variant). The simulator recognizes which architecture is
appropriate by inspecting the object code.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>target sim <var>args</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-sim"></a>
<a name="index-target-sim_002c-with-Z8000"></a>
<p>Debug programs on a simulated CPU. If the simulator supports setup
options, specify them via <var>args</var>.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>After specifying this target, you can debug programs for the simulated
CPU in the same style as programs for your host computer; use the
<code>file</code> command to load a new program image, the <code>run</code> command
to run your program, and so on.
</p>
<p>As well as making available all the usual machine registers
(see <a href="Registers.html#Registers">Registers</a>), the Z8000 simulator provides three
additional items of information as specially named registers:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>cycles</code></dt>
<dd><p>Counts clock-ticks in the simulator.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>insts</code></dt>
<dd><p>Counts instructions run in the simulator.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>time</code></dt>
<dd><p>Execution time in 60ths of a second.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>You can refer to these values in <small>GDB</small> expressions with the usual
conventions; for example, &lsquo;<samp>b&nbsp;fputc&nbsp;if&nbsp;$cycles&gt;5000</samp>&rsquo;<!-- /@w --> sets a
conditional breakpoint that suspends only after at least 5000
simulated clock ticks.
