5.8 Instruction breakpoints
Instruction breakpoints are markers that stop program execution when a specific instruction
is reached. Instruction breakpoints may be set on any C or assembler instruction. If a
condition and/or a counter is set on an instruction breakpoint, program execution is always
stopped to evaluate the condition/counter. If the evaluation returns the Boolean value
FALSE, execution is resumed after a brief suspension. An instruction breakpoint halts the
program just before the specified instruction is executed.
Note: When you impose conditions or a counter condition on an instruction breakpoint, the
program will not run in real-time.
This section provides information about using instruction breakpoints, including:
● Setting an instruction breakpoint
● Viewing the instruction breakpoints
● Setting counters and conditions
● Showing breakpoints
5.8.1 Setting an instruction breakpoint
Instruction breakpoints are set in the Editor or Disassembler windows by selecting
File>Insert/Remove Breakpoint from the main menu bar.
The Editor window displays source code and enables a breakpoint to be set on a chosen
source-code line. The Disassembly window permits a breakpoint to be set on a line of
disassembled code.
You can see the markers for the instruction breakpoint that you have set in the Instruction
Breakpoints window (see Section 5.8.2: Viewing the instruction breakpoints) and in the
Debug Margin of the Editor window (see Section 5.4.1: Editor debug margin on page 172).
