2.3.1 debugger Statement

  • Article

The debugger statement causes a breakpoint to be entered if a debugger is available. If a debugger does not exist or is not active, this statement has no observable effect.

Semantics

In JScript 5.x implementations, the debugger statement is evaluated as follows:

  • If a debugger is not available or is not active for this statement, return (normal, empty, empty).

  • Otherwise, suspend execution and enter the debugger.

  • When the debugging action is complete, if the debugger supplies a completion result, return that result; otherwise, return (normal, empty, empty).
