Setting and Deleting Simple Breakpoints

You can set or delete a breakpoint at a specific line in the Source window or the Assembler window. When you create a breakpoint, you send a breakpoint request to the debugger. The debugger interprets the request. If it is realizable, the debugger sets one or more breakpoints at the requested location. You can also set breakpoints with the Set Breakpoint dialog, and the Breakpoints window.

To set or delete a breakpoint, choose one of the following:

To set a breakpoint using the Source or Assembler window:
1. Select View > Source or View > Assembler to open the Source or Assembler window.
2. Right-click in the window. The pop-up menu appears.
3. Select Create Breakpoint.
If your breakpoint request is realizable, the debugger sets one or more breakpoints at that line.
Tip
You can also set a breakpoint by double-clicking the blue dot at a code or opcode line.
To set a breakpoint using the Breakpoints window:
1. Select View > Breakpoints or click the Breakpoints button.
  The Breakpoints window opens.
2. Right-click in the window. The pop-up menu appears.
3. Select Create Breakpoint.
If your breakpoint request is realizable, the debugger sets one or more breakpoints.
To delete a breakpoint:
1. Right-click the breakpoint you want to delete.
  The pop-up menu appears.
2. Select Delete Breakpoint.
  The breakpoint is deleted.
  
  Note
  When you delete one of multiple breakpoints related to a breakpoint request in the Breakpoints window, the debugger can dynamically recreate the breakpoint when the settings of the request are met again.
