Working with Breakpoints4.2 Setting default breakpointsYou can set a default breakpoint directly from the Code window (see Defaultbreakpoints in the GUI on page 4-5). The methods you can use to do this depend onyour current code view. A default breakpoint is a useful way to set a quick test pointduring a debugging session.The type of default breakpoint set, either software or hardware, is determined by thechosen memory location (see Breakpoints and memory map locations on page 4-9).NoteDefault breakpoints are not added to the breakpoint history (see Setting breakpointsfrom saved lists on page 4-74).This section describes:• Default breakpoints in source-level view on page 4-16• Default breakpoints in disassembly-level view on page 4-17• Setting breakpoints on branch instructions on page 4-18• Setting default breakpoints in other ways on page 4-19.In these examples, Text Coloring is enabled by default. To turn on line numbering,select the following option from the Code window main menu:Edit → Advanced → Show Line NumbersNoteThis menu option is effective only for the current debugging session. If you want toshow line numbers by default when you start RealView Debugger, change theLine_number setting in the workspace settings (see Edit on page A-12).ARM DUI 0153G Copyright © 2002-2005 ARM Limited.
