<h4 class="subsection">5.1.5 Disabling Breakpoints</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-enable_002fdisable-a-breakpoint-317"></a>Rather than deleting a breakpoint, watchpoint, or catchpoint, you might
|
|
prefer to <dfn>disable</dfn> it. This makes the breakpoint inoperative as if
|
|
it had been deleted, but remembers the information on the breakpoint so
|
|
that you can <dfn>enable</dfn> it again later.
|
|
|
|
<p>You disable and enable breakpoints, watchpoints, and catchpoints with
|
|
the <code>enable</code> and <code>disable</code> commands, optionally specifying
|
|
one or more breakpoint numbers as arguments. Use <code>info break</code> to
|
|
print a list of all breakpoints, watchpoints, and catchpoints if you
|
|
do not know which numbers to use.
|
|
|
|
<p>Disabling and enabling a breakpoint that has multiple locations
|
|
affects all of its locations.
|
|
|
|
<p>A breakpoint, watchpoint, or catchpoint can have any of several
|
|
different states of enablement:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Enabled. The breakpoint stops your program. A breakpoint set
|
|
with the <code>break</code> command starts out in this state.
|
|
<li>Disabled. The breakpoint has no effect on your program.
|
|
<li>Enabled once. The breakpoint stops your program, but then becomes
|
|
disabled.
|
|
<li>Enabled for a count. The breakpoint stops your program for the next
|
|
N times, then becomes disabled.
|
|
<li>Enabled for deletion. The breakpoint stops your program, but
|
|
immediately after it does so it is deleted permanently. A breakpoint
|
|
set with the <code>tbreak</code> command starts out in this state.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can use the following commands to enable or disable breakpoints,
|
|
watchpoints, and catchpoints:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-disable-318"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-dis-_0040r_007b_0028_0040code_007bdisable_007d_0029_007d-319"></a>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>disable </code><span class="roman">[</span><code>breakpoints</code><span class="roman">]</span> <span class="roman">[</span><var>list</var><code>...</code><span class="roman">]</span><dd>Disable the specified breakpoints—or all breakpoints, if none are
|
|
listed. A disabled breakpoint has no effect but is not forgotten. All
|
|
options such as ignore-counts, conditions and commands are remembered in
|
|
case the breakpoint is enabled again later. You may abbreviate
|
|
<code>disable</code> as <code>dis</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-enable-320"></a><br><dt><code>enable </code><span class="roman">[</span><code>breakpoints</code><span class="roman">]</span> <span class="roman">[</span><var>list</var><code>...</code><span class="roman">]</span><dd>Enable the specified breakpoints (or all defined breakpoints). They
|
|
become effective once again in stopping your program.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>enable </code><span class="roman">[</span><code>breakpoints</code><span class="roman">]</span><code> once </code><var>list</var><code>...</code><dd>Enable the specified breakpoints temporarily. <span class="sc">gdb</span> disables any
|
|
of these breakpoints immediately after stopping your program.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>enable </code><span class="roman">[</span><code>breakpoints</code><span class="roman">]</span><code> count </code><var>count</var> <var>list</var><code>...</code><dd>Enable the specified breakpoints temporarily. <span class="sc">gdb</span> records
|
|
<var>count</var> with each of the specified breakpoints, and decrements a
|
|
breakpoint's count when it is hit. When any count reaches 0,
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span> disables that breakpoint. If a breakpoint has an ignore
|
|
count (see <a href="Conditions.html#Conditions">Break Conditions</a>), that will be
|
|
decremented to 0 before <var>count</var> is affected.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>enable </code><span class="roman">[</span><code>breakpoints</code><span class="roman">]</span><code> delete </code><var>list</var><code>...</code><dd>Enable the specified breakpoints to work once, then die. <span class="sc">gdb</span>
|
|
deletes any of these breakpoints as soon as your program stops there.
|
|
Breakpoints set by the <code>tbreak</code> command start out in this state.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<!-- FIXME: I think the following ``Except for [...] @code{tbreak}'' is -->
|
|
<!-- confusing: tbreak is also initially enabled. -->
|
|
<p>Except for a breakpoint set with <code>tbreak</code> (see <a href="Set-Breaks.html#Set-Breaks">Setting Breakpoints</a>), breakpoints that you set are initially enabled;
|
|
subsequently, they become disabled or enabled only when you use one of
|
|
the commands above. (The command <code>until</code> can set and delete a
|
|
breakpoint of its own, but it does not change the state of your other
|
|
breakpoints; see <a href="Continuing-and-Stepping.html#Continuing-and-Stepping">Continuing and Stepping</a>.)
