- Is it really true that there is no way to set a breakpoint on a running
- program? For example, if I discover that I need another breakpoint while
- the program is running how do I interrupt IPMD to set this breakpoint.
- Some folks here say that this is just not possible. If so, I view this
- as a major failing of IPMD. The same problem seems to exist for even
- enabling a breakpoint previously disabled. This seems so easy to
- implement and so essential to use, how did the IPMD developers forget
- it?
-
- I've also noticed that sometimes the "step over" and "step return"
- functions seem broken; they have the effect of "run". Other folks here
- have also noticed this behavior. Are there any bug fixes for this
- problem?
-
- I'm sorry if this has all been hashed to death in this newsgroup,
- but I'm just now subscribing to it.
