6.4 Setting a Software Breakpoint
A software breakpoint is a simple debugging function.
The [Editor] window provides a very simple way of setting a software breakpoint at any point in a program. For
example, to set a software breakpoint at the sort function call:
• Select by double-clicking the [S/W Breakpoints] column on the line containing the sort function call.
Figure 6.4 [Editor] Window (Setting a Software Breakpoint)
The symbol • will appear on the line containing the sort function. This shows that a software breakpoint
has been set.
