Changeset 11310:bc7702daf93e
---------------------------
configs: add command-line option to stop debug output

This patch adds a --debug-end flag to main.py so that debug output can be
stopped at a specified tick, while allowing the simulation to continue.
It is useful in situations where you would like to produce a trace for a
region of interest while still collecting stats for the entire run. This is
in contrast to the currently existing --debug-break flag, which terminates the
simulation at the tick.

Testing Done

everything in this area of the code is metavar TICK, "at TICK", any reason to go with "TIME" here instead?	Curtis Dunham	Jan. 19, 2016, 3:49 p.m.	Resolved

This patch was based on an older version of the simulator, which has "TIME". I didn't notice the change when porting it; thanks for catching this.
