5.2. Setting default breakpoints

You can set a default breakpoint directly from the Code window (see Default breakpoints in the GUI). The methods you can use to do this depend on your current code view. A default breakpoint is a useful way to set a quick test point during a debugging session.

The type of default breakpoint set, either software or hardware, is determined by the chosen memory location (see Breakpoints and memory map locations).

Note

Default breakpoints are not added to the breakpoint history (see Setting breakpoints from saved lists).

This section describes:

In these examples, Text Coloring is enabled by default. To turn on line numbering, select the following option from the Code window main menu:

Edit → Advanced → Show Line Numbers

Note

This menu option is effective only for the current debugging session. If you want to show line numbers by default when you start RealView Debugger, change the Line_number setting in the workspace settings (see Edit).
