Creating Conditional Breakpoint Examples

Here are some examples of conditional breakpoints code:

• To define a breakpoint that is reached whenever variable i is greater than 20 but less than 25:

      if (i > 20 && i < 25)
        $stop;

• To define a breakpoint that will stop execution every 10th time that TotalView executes the $count statement:

      $count 10

• To define a breakpoint with a more complex expression, consider:

      $count i * 2

  When the variable i equals 4, the process stops the 8th time it executes the $count statement. After the process stops, the expression is reevaluated. If i now equals 5, the next stop occurs after the process executes the $count statement 10 more times.

For complete descriptions of the $stop and $count statements, refer to Built-In Statements.
