Subject: break instruction in mips32

Hi All

As per specification of mips32, 'break' instruction should raise the
Breakpoint Exception but gdb6.0 does not raise any break point
exception.

As my understanding in GDB, Breakpoint implementation is done with the
help of break instruction. Whenever user puts any breakpoint the actual
instruction at that point is replaced by break instruction and the
actual instruction is maintained in other list.

If I use break instruction in user program it does not raise any
exception. Does mips32 not support 'BREAK' instruction in GDB.

Thanks & Regards
Monika
