bsc (Update Conditional Breakpoint)

The bsc command changes the condition under which a breakpoint occurs or changes the command executed when the specified conditional breakpoint is encountered.

Syntax

bsc ID Condition ["CommandString"] 

Parameters

ID

Specifies the ID number of the breakpoint.

Condition

Specifies the condition under which the breakpoint should be triggered.

CommandString

Specifies the new list of commands to be executed every time that the breakpoint is encountered. You must enclose the CommandString parameter in quotation marks. Use semicolons to separate multiple commands.

Debugger commands in CommandString can include parameters. You can use standard C-control characters (such as \n and \"). Semicolons that are contained in second-level quotation marks (\") are interpreted as part of the embedded quoted string.

The CommandString commands are executed only if the breakpoint is reached while the application is executing in response to a g (Go) command. The commands are not executed if you are stepping through the code or tracing past this point.

Any command that resumes program execution after a breakpoint (such as g or t) ends the execution of the command list.

Environment

Comments

If the CommandString is not specified, any commands already set on the breakpoint are removed.

The same effect can be achieved by using the bs (Update Breakpoint Command) command with the following syntax:

bs ID "j Condition 'CommandString'; 'gc'"
