11.23. Setting breakpoints from the breakpoint
history list
When you set a breakpoint from a breakpoint dialog box, it
is added to a breakpoint history list. This is useful if you previously
set up a complex breakpoint (with conditions and actions), and you
want to re-use that breakpoint, or use it as the basis for a new
breakpoint.
Note
If you set a simple breakpoint without using a breakpoint
dialog box, or set a breakpoint using a CLI command, then it is
not added to the history list.
The breakpoint history list is stored in your personal history
file, exphist.sav, which is saved in your RealView Debugger home
directory. Your personal history file is updated when you exit RealView Debugger at
the end of your debugging session, and it contains a snapshot of
the current breakpoints across all your debug targets. The items
in the breakpoint history list include breakpoints you have set
during the current debugging session, and breakpoints you have set
from previous debugging sessions.
Note
If you are using RealView Debugger on non-Windows platforms, the
history file is only created if you create and save a favorite,
for example a breakpoint or watchpoint.
