Unconditional breakpoints

If you want to set an unconditional software breakpoint on an instruction in your application, double-click in the margin of the source line (Src tab) or address (Dsm tab) in the File Editor pane of the Code window.

The symbol $image\breakpt.gif$ to the left of the source line indicates that there is a breakpoint.

$image\lamp.gif$ Breakpoints are set on executable instructions. If you click on a source line that is not executable, RealView Debugger sets a breakpoint on the next executable instruction and identifies the non-executable lines between with $image\downbr.gif$ .

Execution stops at this point in the code and waits for you to take action. If you execute the program again, it continues until the next breakpoint is reached.

Alternatively, you can use the Set Address/Data Breakpoint dialog to set any type of breakpoint:

Select BreakpointsSet/Edit Breakpoint... from the Code window Debug menu to display the dialog.
