Set a Line Breakpoint

You can set a line breakpoint from a Source window, or from the Breakpoints List window.

There are three ways to set a line breakpoint from the Source window:

  1. Make sure the appropriate line is visible in the window (use the scroll bar or cursor keys to locate it), then double-click on the line number in the prefix area of the line.
  2. Type the line number in the source window. A Line number dialog opens up. The line number you entered is placed in the dialog entry field. Click on the Breakpoint button.
  3. Select Breakpoints->Set line from the menu bar, and fill in appropriate fields in the resulting Line breakpoint dialog box as described below for the Breakpoints List window.

To set a line breakpoint in a Breakpoints List window, do the following:

  1. Select Set->Line from the menu bar.
  2. In the resulting Line breakpoint dialog box, enter the line number and source file you want to place the breakpoint in.
  3. Enter other conditions for your breakpoint, such as the frequency, if you like.
