Breakpoints are markers you place in your program to tell the debugger to stop whenever execution reaches that point. For example, if a particular statement in your program is causing problems, you could set a breakpoint on the line containing the statement, then run your program. Execution stops at the breakpoint, before the statement is executed, and you can check the contents of variables, registers, storage, and the stack, then either step over the statement to see how the problem arises, or jump over the statement to temporarily circumvent the problem.
The debugger supports the following types of breakpoints:
![]()
Set a Deferred Breakpoint
Set Multiple Breakpoints
Delete Breakpoints
Delete All Breakpoints
Modify Breakpoint Characteristics
Enable and Disable Breakpoints
Set and Clear Breakpoints from a
