3.4. Using breakpoints

Prerequisites

• You started an interactive debugging session with LLDB.

Procedure

• To set a new breakpoint on a specific line, enter:

  (lldb) breakpoint set --file <source_file_name> --line <line_number>

  Replace <source_file_name> with the name of your source file and <line_number> with the line number you want to set your breakpoint at.

• To set a breakpoint on a specific function, enter:

  (lldb) breakpoint set --name <function_name>

  • Replace <function_name> with the name of the function you want to set your breakpoint at.

• To display a list of currently set breakpoints, enter:

  (lldb) breakpoint list

• To delete a breakpoint, run:

  (lldb) breakpoint clear -f <source_file_name> -l <line_number>

  • Replace <source_file_name> with the name of your source file and <line_number> with line number of the breakpoint you want to delete.

• To resume the execution of your program after it reached a breakpoint, enter:

  (lldb) continue

• To skip a specific number of breakpoints, enter:

  (lldb) continue -i <breakpoints_to_skip>

  • Replace <breakpoints_to_skip> with the number of breakpoints you want to skip. To skip a loop, set the <breakpoints_to_skip> to match the loop iteration count.
