Sequence Breakpoints
Sequence Breakpoint
One of the two complex breakpoints is a collection of line, address, data, and/or event breakpoints where each breakpoint must occur in a specified order before program execution is suspended. A maximum of two sequences may be defined at any one time.

Sequence Breakpoint Activities

Some Example Uses

  • Examine the machine state after a specific set of events have occurred in a specific order.

A sequence breakpoint lets you set multiple criteria for a breakpoint. For example, suspend program execution (i.e., break) after it has first passed line 25 ten times, then a value of 6 is written to the variable count, and finally, a sleep instruction is executed.
