Re: Setting conditional breakpoints in SEP in V8.0.1

I'm trying to set a conditional breakpoint in SEP and in the process of
editing the breakpoint I'm presented with the first panel which allows
entry of two optional values: Executable and Object. Anyone know what
these are used for? The help doesn't explain their purpose.

Then I click on Next which provides the Expression field where I can

enter

the condition that I want to break on. Problem is that when I enter the
expression and click Finish, if I go back and edit the breakpoint the
Expression is blank. Hence I can't set the condition for the breakpoint.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Jerry,

This is a known defect. Until a fix is available, I think you should be
able to work around this problem by creating your breakpoint from the
context menu in the Breakpoint view: Add breakpoint > Line ...
You will only be able to use that solution while you are connected to the
debug engine on the remote system. Breakpoints created in this way are tied
to the specific debug session: they disappear when the debug session ends,
and are restored when the debug session is started again.
