Chapter 11. Using Breakpoints to Aid Debugging

The flow of a program can be controlled with breakpoints.

When a breakpoint stops the program, the Display Module Source display appears. Use this display to evaluate variables, set more breakpoints, and run any of the source debugger commands. The appropriate module is shown with the source positioned to the line where the condition occurred. The cursor will be positioned on the line where the breakpoint occurred if the cursor was in the text area of the display the last time the source was displayed. Otherwise, it is positioned on the debug command line.

If you change the view of the module after setting breakpoints, then the line numbers of the breakpoints are mapped to the new view by the source debugger.
