Breakpoints Window (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The Breakpoints window is a dockable window that displays the list of user breakpoints in loaded executable code. To display the window, go to Debug > Windows > Breakpoints.
The window displays breakpoints in a tree view. The top-level entry for each breakpoint uses the following syntax.
{[function],[source],[module],[process], reserved} .linenumber
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
Function |
The name of the function that contains the breakpoint. |
Source |
The name of the source file that contains the breakpoint. |
Module |
The name of the module. |
Process |
The process in which the code that contains the breakpoint runs. |
Reserved |
Reserved. |
linenumber |
The line number at which the breakpoint is set. |
Examples
For example, the top-level entry for a breakpoint at line 98 in the thisFunc function from the someSrc.cpp file would be
at '{thisFunc,someSrc.cpp,,,}.line 98'
If the breakpoint is instantiated, you can expand this level. Instances of the breakpoint appear with the following additional information.
- Breakpoint address and context, including function name, source file, module name, and PID
- Breakpoint line number and applicable condition, if any
For the preceding example, an expanded breakpoint line might look like this:
at '{thisFunc,someSrc.cpp}.line 98'
at '(thisFunc,someSrc.cpp, someExe.exe,,} line 98'(0x030241)
If the same breakpoint has multiple instances, each instance has a single entry in the list.
You can enable a disabled breakpoint in the breakpoint list by checking it, or disable an enabled breakpoint in the list by unchecking it.
