break
The break
command defines a break point to stop the program execution
at a given line or function.
Syntax
break [ { [module.]function
| [module:]line } ]
[ if condition ]
- function is a function name.
- module is the name of a specific source file, without extension.
- line is a source code line.
- condition is an expression evaluated dynamically.
Usage
The break
command
sets a break point at a given position in the program.
When the program is running, the debugger stops automatically at breakpoints defined by this command.
If a condition is specified, the program stops at the breakpoint only if the condition evaluates to TRUE.
If you do not specify any location (function or line number), the breakpoint is created for the current line. For example, if you write "break if var = 1", the debugger adds a conditional breakpoint for the current line, and the program will only stop if the variable is equal to 1 when reaching the current line again.
Example
(fgldb) break mymodule:5
Breakpoint 2 at 0x00000000: file mymodule.4gl, line 5.
