Abstract
A system and method for implementation of MMU assisted data breakpoints for any number of data structures within a program application are provided. For each data structure for which a data breakpoint is desired, two distinct MMU entries are created. One MMU entry has access attributes. The other entry has an interrupt triggering sub-entry. According to the preferred embodiment, access to the second MMU entry causes a page fault.
