| Adding breakpoints |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Line breakpoints are set on an executable line of a program. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| In the editor area, open the file where you want to add the breakpoint. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> Directly to the left of the line where you want to add the breakpoint, |
| open the marker bar (vertical ruler) pop-up menu and select <strong>Toggle |
| Breakpoint.</strong> You can also double-click on the marker bar |
| next to the source code line. A new breakpoint marker appears on the |
| marker bar, directly to the left of the line where you added the breakpoint. |
| Also, the new breakpoint appears in the Breakpoints view list. </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| While the breakpoint is enabled, thread execution suspends before that line of code is executed. The debugger selects |
| the thread that has suspended and displays the thread's stack |
| frames. The line where the breakpoint was set is highlighted in the editor in the Debug perspective. |
