I was wondering if somebody could explain how adb (and dbx) executes programs.
Does it have a software simulator that interprets the instructions in the
object file of the program being debugged? Or does it use the VAX hardware
to execute the program, say by hardware single-stepping? I could trudge through
the code, but I was wondering if somebody already knew. Thanks.
