should not stop inside critical sections delimited by memory locking/unlocking instructions. Facility: DEBUG, VMS Debugger Explanation: The debugger has limited support for debugging of critical sections delimited by memory locking/unlocking (e.g. LDx_L/STx_C (load-locked/store-conditional) instructions. The exception mechanisms used by the debugger causes the lock-flag set by the locking instruction to be cleared. This action affects the behavior of subsequent instructions that rely on memory being locked. User Action: Cancel or deactivate all eventpoints (watchpoints, breakpoints, etc.) that might trigger while the application being debugged is executing the critical section; a STEP issued from the load_lock instruction should now step over the critical section. Eventpoints then may be safely reset.
