Breakpoints are added to a history list if you set them:
directly in the source or disassemebly view
using the breakpoint dialog boxes, for example the Create Breakpoint or the Simple Break if X dialog box.
Note
If you set a breakpoint in another way, for example using a CLI command, this is not added to the history list.
This is useful if you have 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.
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 created only if you create and save a favorite, for example a breakpoint or watchpoint.
To set a breakpoint from the breakpoint history list:
Select Debug → Breakpoints → Set Break/Tracepoint from List → Break/Tracepoint History... from the Code window main menu to display the breakpoint history list dialog box. Figure 11.42 shows an example.
Select the breakpoint that you want to set.
Click OK to set the breakpoint and close the dialog box.
The breakpoint is set.
Note
If you want to use this breakpoint as the basis for a new breakpoint, then edit the breakpoint.
