Ignoring Breakpoints

Project Builder stops at an ignored breakpoint only after it passes that breakpoint for a specified number of times.

To ignore a breakpoint for a specified number of times:

  1. Start the debugger by clicking the spray can icon, click the Debug tab, and click the triangle beside Consoles.
  2. Enter ignore <bp-id> <count> at the GDB prompt.
    <bp-id> is the breakpoint's ID number, which you can find in the breakpoint list. <count> is the number of times to ignore it before pausing at it again.
    For example, ignore 3 10 ignores breakpoint number 3 the next 10 times it's reached, and then pauses at it on the 11th time.

Note that while Project Builder saves your breakpoints between debugging sessions, it does not save ignore information or anything else enter at the GDB command-line.
