Setting a Custom On Condition Breakpoint

Setting Custom Breakpoint Actions

Breakpoints Window

You can set an On Condition breakpoint to change the value of a variable when the value of an expression becomes True.

If you were using dbx, the command would be:

when cond x==10 {assign x=15;}

To set the same breakpoint in the Breakpoints window, you would set the following in the Details pane:

• Event On Condition x==10
• Action CUSTOM assign x=15
• Option None

The debugger automatically adds { ;} for assign x=15. The syntax reads:

{assign x=15;}

If you click Add, an extra { ;} will be added in the Action text field.

If you click Change, the selected breakpoint is changed from

when cond x==10 {assign x=15;}

to

when cond x == 10 -replace 2  { assign x=15 ; }
