| Applying Hit Counts |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| A hit count can be applied to line breakpoints, exception breakpoints, watchpoints and method breakpoints. When a hit count is applied to a breakpoint, the breakpoint |
| suspends execution of a thread the <em>n</em>th time it is hit, but never again, until it is re-enabled or the hit count is changed or disabled. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To set a hit count on a breakpoint: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the breakpoint to which a hit count is to be added. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the breakpoint's pop-up menu, select <strong><a href="../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-hitcount_contextaction.htm">Hit Count</a></strong>. </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Enter the new hit count for the breakpoint</strong> field, type the number of times you want to hit the breakpoint before suspending |
| execution.<br> |
| <br> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> When the breakpoint is hit for the <em>n</em>th time, the thread that hit the breakpoint suspends. The breakpoint is disabled until either it is |
| re-enabled or its hit count is changed. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
