The Location tab page of the New Breakpoint Dialog box allows you to specify a location for a breakpoint based on a line number, memory address, function, or label.

Using this dialog box, you can:

• Set a location for a breakpoint in your source file
• Add a condition for a breakpoint
• Choose whether the breakpoint is hardware or software.

• Break at
  Enter the location (line number, memory address, function, or label) where you want to set the breakpoint.

  To specify addition information about the location, click the ellipses (…) button. This brings up the New Breakpoint Dialog Box: Advanced Breakpoint Dialog Box.

  • If you want to set the location with a line number, the line number must be preceded by a period, for example .468.
  • If you want to set a location with a memory address, type the address in decimal or in hexadecimal. By default, hexadecimal numbers must be preceded by 0x; for example, 0x1002A. The address must be an integer constant.
  • If you want to set a location with a function name, provide both the class name and the function name, for example ICcSvcHost::GetService.

• Condition
  Click to display the New Breakpoint Dialog Box: Breakpoint Condition Dialog Box, where you can enter a conditional expression.

  The debugger only stops at the breakpoint if the condition is met.

• Hardware
  Click to display the New Breakpoint Dialog Box: Breakpoint Selection Dialog Box, where you can specify whether to set a hardware or software breakpoint.

  This button is enabled only while eXDI Hardware-Assisted Debugging is available.

  Processes your input and closes the dialog box.

• Cancel
  Closes the dialog box without saving changes you made.
