BPT monitor command BPT monitor command Syntax BPT @task:program step (expression_list) Function Set and clear breakpoints used in programs to pause program execution and display values for debugging. Usage Considerations Breakpoints cannot be set or cleared in programs that are actively executing or being edited. Breakpoints cannot be set before the first executable statement in a program. For systems using the ACE interface, a breakpoint can be set using the breakpoint icon in the Program Editor tool. For details, see the ACE User's Guide . When programs are stored to disk, any breakpoints set in the programs are not stored with the programs.
Thus, any such breakpoints will not be set when the programs are read from disk back into memory. Parameters task Optional integer that specifies the program task number used to determine the program being referenced if the "program" parameter is omitted. If "task" is omitted, the colon (":") must also be omitted. Then, the main program task (0) is used. NOTE : Regardless of the value of the "task" parameter, any program task that encounters a breakpoint in a program will stop execution. program Optional program name that specifies the program in which the breakpoint is to be set or cleared, and determines the context for any variables in the expression list.
If "program" is omitted, the colon (":") must also be omitted. Then, the program on top of the stack specified by "task" is used. NOTE : If the entire sequence "@task:program" is omitted, all the breakpoints in all programs are cleared. In this case, all the other command parameters must also be omitted. step Optional integer value specifying the step number where a eV+Operating System Reference Guide, 2.x,18321-000 Rev A Page 42
