Setting an address breakpoint

Restriction: This
is supported for AIX and Windows only.
Address breakpoints are not available when debugging interpreted Java programs. They are
available when debugging High Performance Compiled (HPC) Java programs.
You can set an address breakpoint from the Source pane, and from the
Breakpoints menu.
To set an address breakpoint from the Source pane:
- Ensure the Source pane is set to a disassembly or mixed view. To set the Source pane to
a disassembly view, select Source > Disassembly View. To set the
Source pane to a mixed view, select Source > Mixed View.
- Make sure the appropriate line is visible in the pane by using the scroll bar or cursor
keys to locate the line.
- Double-click on the address in the prefix area of the line, or right-click on the Disassembly or Mixed view and select
Set Breakpoint from the pop-up menu.
To set an address breakpoint from the Breakpoints menu:
- Select Breakpoints > Set Address from the menu bar.
- Enter either the address where you want to set the breakpoint or an expression that
evaluates to an address. The address must be entered in hexadecimal notation.
- Set any optional parameters that you want for the breakpoint.
- Click OK to set the breakpoint and dismiss the Address Breakpoint
dialog. Alternatively, use the Set button to set the breakpoint without
dismissing the Address Breakpoint dialog.
