 # The goal is not to test gdb functionality, which is done by other

+# The skip_hw_watchpoint_tests checks if watchpoints are supported by the
+# processor.  On PowerPC, the check runs a small test program under gdb
+# to determine if the Power processor supports HW watchpoints.  The check
+# must be done before starting the test so as to not disrupt the execution
