X-Hacker.org- Watcom Debugger Guide - you can use the<b> break</b> menu to control your breakpoints. operations http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
You can use the Break menu to control your breakpoints.  Operations
including creating new breakpoints, changing a breakpoint's status, and
viewing a list of all break points.


Toggle
    Change the status of the breakpoint at the current line in the source or
    assembly window.  The status alternates between enabled, disabled and
    cleared.  The button on the source or assembly line will be updated to
    reflect the status of the breakpoint.

    Note:
        Disabled and cleared breakpoints are not the same.  If you disable a
        breakpoint, you can re-enable it and retain the information about
        the breakpoint (i.e., conditions, countdown, and actions).  When you
        clear a breakpoint, you lose all information about the breakpoint.
         If you disable a breakpoint, and press F9 twice to enable, you will
        lose the information about the breakpoint because you cleared it
        before you re-enabled it.  To enable a disabled breakpoint without
        losing the breakpoint information, use the Breakpoint Option dialog
        or the Breakpoint window.


At Cursor
    Set a breakpoint at the current line in the source or assembly window.
     If the current line does not contain any executable code, the
    breakpoint is set on the closest preceding line of code that does
    contain executable code.  When you choose At Cursor, the Breakpoint
    dialog appears.

New
    This allows you to create any type of breakpoint using a dialog.  You
    must specify the address in the dialog.

On Image Load...
    Cause program execution to stop when an executable image (DLL) is
    dynamically loaded.  The menu item is only available when debugging an
    Win32 or OS/2 executable.  A dialogue will appear allowing you to add
    and delete image names from the list.  You only need to type a substring
    of the actual image name.  You can identify the file "C:\PATH\IMAGE.DLL"
    with any substring, for example "IMAGE", "IMAGE.DLL" or "ATH\IMAGE.DLL".
     Case is ignored in the image names.

On Debug Message
    When checked, cause program execution to stop whenever Windows 3.1,
    Windows NT, or Windows 95 prints a debug string.  A debug string is
    printed whenever the application or debug Kernel calls the
    OutputDebugString function.  This option is toggled each time it is
    selected from the Break menu.

View All
    Open the breakpoint window.  This window will show a list of all
    breakpoints.  You can use the window to create, delete and modify
    breakpoints.

Clear All
    Clear all breakpoints.

Disable All
    Disable all breakpoints, but do not delete them.

Enable All
    Enable all breakpoints that are disabled.

Save
    Save all breakpoint information to a file.  This is useful when you are
    creating complicated breakpoints.  You can save and restore them in a
    later debugging session.

Restore
    Restore a set of breakpoints that were saved by using Save from the
    Break menu.
