Breakpoints

A breakpoint causes the execution of a program thread to suspend at the location where the breakpoint is set.

Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled via their context menus in the Breakpoints view.

Debugging breakpoints are displayed in the marker bar in the editor area and in the Breakpoints view.
