Ski IA-64 Simulator Reference Manual 1.0L
By changing the value of the ip register, you can change where in the program Ski will resume simulation. Enter the com-
mand = ip main+20 in the Main Window and observe the first line of the first pane in the Register Window: notice
that the ip register changes to reflect your command, as Figure 1-20 shows. (You may need to left-click in the Main Win-
dow to make it active.) You can make similar changes to all of the architecturally-visible, non-hardwired IA-64 registers,
which helps you debug your program. You can test your program’s behavior in exceptional cases, such as handling
unusual errors.
