| |
| <p>A breakpoint is set on an executable line of a program. If the breakpoint is |
| enabled when you debug, the execution suspends before that line of code |
| executes.</p> |
| |
| <p>To add a breakpoint point, double click the marker bar located in the left margin of the |
| <strong>C/C++ Editor</strong> beside the line of code where you want to add a breakpoint. A dot |
| <img alt="Icon: Breakpoint object" src="../images/icon_breakpoint_obj.gif" width="16" height="16"> is |
| displayed in the marker bar and in the <strong>Breakpoints</strong> view, along with the name of the associated file.</p> |
