Breakpoints

Last modified: 12 November 2024

Breakpoints are special markers that suspend program execution at a specific point. This lets you examine the program state and behavior. Breakpoints can be simple, for example, suspending the program on reaching some line of code, or involve more complex logic, such as checking against additional conditions, writing to a log, and so on).

Once set, a breakpoint remains in your project until you remove it explicitly, except for temporary breakpoints.
