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.
