• If another source file contains the statement , put the name of its
file or procedure in the "()" input box and choose "Visit:
Procedure ( )" or "Visit: File ( )".
2. Click in the Annotation Margin next to the line on which you want a
breakpoint. A breakpoint annotation appears in the Annotation
Margin, indicating the location of the new breakpoint.
If your source code has several executable statements on the line you
select, SoftBench Debugger sets the breakpoint before the first
statement on the line. You can set a breakpoint on later statements by
entering the statement location (as specified in “Specifying Program
Location” on page 177) in the "()" input box, and adding "+1" to specify
the second statement, "+2" to specify the third, and so on. Choose
"Break: Set at ( )" to set the breakpoint.
If you attempt to set a breakpoint on a specific line and the breakpoint
annotation appears several statements further down in your program,
this indicates that you selected a non-executable statement. SoftBench
Debugger sets the breakpoint on the first executable statement following
the one you selected.
