print

Prints the values of one or more variables or expressions.

SYNTAX

[where (expression)] print[/radix] expression [, expression ...]
[pset set_name | set_definition]

DESCRIPTION

Use the print command to print the values of the specified variable(s) or expression(s).

The optional where expression provides a mask for the elements of the parallel variable or array being printed. The mask can be any expression that evaluates to true or false for each element of the variable or array. Elements whose values evaluate to true are considered active; elements whose values evaluate to false are considered inactive. If values are printed in the command window, values of inactive elements are not printed. If values are printed graphically, the treatment of inactive elements depends on the type of representation you choose.

The optional /radix syntax specifies the radix to be used in printing the value(s). Possible settings of /radix are

Table 1-7 Radix Settings

Symbol	Radix
/b	Binary
/d	Decimal
/x	Hexadecimal
/o	Octal

described in Table 1-7.

The default radix is decimal, unless you have overridden the default via the set $radix command.

Redirection of output to a window via the on window syntax works slightly differently for print (and display) from the way it works for other commands. If you don't send output to the command window (the default), separate windows are created for each variable or expression that you print. Thus, the commands

print x on dedicated
print y on dedicated

create two dedicated windows, one for each variable; the two windows are updated separately.

Printing to a window other than the command window creates a visualizer for the data.

To print the contents of a register, precede the name of the register with a dollar sign. For example,

print $pc on dedicated

prints the contents of the program counter register.

Supported UltraSPARC registers are listed in the following table.

Table 1-8 UltraSPARC Registers

Name	Register
$g0-$g7	Global registers (64 bits)
$o0-$o7	Output registers (64 bits)
$l0-$l7	Local registers
$i0-$i7	Input registers
$psr	Processor state register
$pc	Program counter
$npc	Next program counter
$y	Y register
$wim	Window invalid mask
$tbr	Trap base register
$f0-$f31	Floating-point registers, printable only as floats
$fsr	Floating status register (64 bits)
$f0f1-$f62f63	Floating-point registers, printable only as doubles
$xg0-$xg7	Upper 32 bits of $g0-$g7 (SPARC V8 plus only, or higher)
$xo0-$xo7	Upper 32 bits of $o0-$o7 (SPARC V8 plus only, or higher)
$xfsr	Upper 32 bits of $fsr (SPARC V8 plus only, or higher)
$fprs	Floating-point registers state (SPARC V8 plus only, or higher)
$tstate	Trap state register (SPARC V8 plus only, or higher)
$fp	Frame pointer (synonym for $i6)
$sp	Stack pointer (synonym for $o6)

You can use the default alias p for the print command.

When issued in MP Prism, this command can take a pset qualifier. If used with a qualifier, it applies to the pset you specify. If used without a qualifier, it applies to the current pset. See " Using Pset Qualifiers" for more information on pset qualifiers.

EXAMPLES

print maxval(a)

prints the maximum value of the array a.

where (a > 3) print a on dedicated

prints (in a dedicated window) the values of a that are greater than 3.
