<a name="index-debugging-target"></a>
|
|
<p>A <em>target</em> is the execution environment occupied by your program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Often, <small>GDB</small> runs in the same host environment as your program;
|
|
in that case, the debugging target is specified as a side effect when
|
|
you use the <code>file</code> or <code>core</code> commands. When you need more
|
|
flexibility—for example, running <small>GDB</small> on a physically separate
|
|
host, or controlling a standalone system over a serial port or a
|
|
realtime system over a TCP/IP connection—you can use the <code>target</code>
|
|
command to specify one of the target types configured for <small>GDB</small>
|
|
(see <a href="Target-Commands.html#Target-Commands">Commands for Managing Targets</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-target-architecture"></a>
|
|
<p>It is possible to build <small>GDB</small> for several different <em>target
|
|
architectures</em>. When <small>GDB</small> is built like that, you can choose
|
|
one of the available architectures with the <kbd>set architecture</kbd>
|
|
command.

<dl compact="compact">

|
<a name="index-show-architecture"></a>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>set architecture <var>arch</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>This command sets the current target architecture to <var>arch</var>. The
|
|
value of <var>arch</var> can be <code>"auto"</code>, in addition to one of the
|
|
supported architectures.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>show architecture</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Show the current target architecture.

<dd><a name="index-set-processor"></a>

|

<p>These are alias commands for, respectively, <code>set architecture</code>
|
|
and <code>show architecture</code>.
