Breakpoint directly on C source code

patonsebastien — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 13:46:04 GMT

I start to work with Codewarrior 10.6 and I have a little question about the breakpoint placement during debug session.

I have a code written like this:

test:

if(PTAD_PTAD1==1){PTBD_PTBD1=1}else{PTBD_PTBD1=0;}

goto test;

I can place breakpoint on the line (before if instruction) but is it possible to place a breakpoint only in the "else" bloc ?

Thanks

Settings in the Editor/source view only works line by line, so you cannot set there a breakpoint on the else part, if you have all the source on a single line.

But you can use the disassembly view: here you can set breakpoints on the else block (on the assembly instruction).

Otherwise see

As Erich said, placing breakpoints on C code works on a line-by-line basis. If you need a breakpoint on the else clause, the most straightforward thing to do is to insert a couple of newlines, so that the if and the else clauses are on separate lines.

Thank you for the answer. I hope one day codewarrior 10 will support the breakpoints like this. It was sometimes very useful on Hiwave
