When an exception breakpoint is triggered, execution is suspended before any application-declared condition handler is invoked. At an exception breakpoint, entering a GO or STEP command after executing a routine with the CALL command causes the debugger to resignal the exception (see the GO and STEP commands). On Alpha processors, you cannot debug routines that are activated before the routine activated by a CALL command. For example, your program is stopped in routine MAIN, and you set a breakpoint in routine SORT. You issue the debugger command CALL SORT. While debugging routine SORT, you cannot debug routine MAIN. You must first return from the call to routine SO RT. If you are debugging a multiprocess program, the CALL command is executed in the context of the current process set. In addition, when debugging a multiprocess program, the way in which execution continues in your process depends on whether you entered a SET MODE [NO]INTERRUPT command or a SET MODE [NO]WAIT command. By default (SET MODE NOINTERRUPT), when one process stops, the debugger takes no action with regard to the other processes. Also by default (SET MODE WAIT), the debugger waits until all processes in the current process set have stopped before prompting for a new command.
