Re: RDi Debug - Break when variable changes -- WDSCI-L

help text for setting the watch does say you can do it in the editor - someone please verify, I looked in a hurry.

If so, that's either a bug or an RFE candidate to restore previous functionality.

Correct - you have to actually be debugging.

It sounds like it should be, but I don't see Add Watch Breakpoint in my
right click menu. I have Add/Remove Breakpoint which sets a line
breakpoint, and Set Service Entry Point, but that is it. Maybe debug has
to be started and the program running.

I haven't use this feature, but isn't the Add Watch breakpoint what you
want?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Debug - Break when variable changes

In the past I have been able to set a debugger to stop when a variable
value
changes. I am unable to find a similar feature in RDi. Here is the
issue. I
have an old spaghetti program full of tags, gotos, and cabs that jump
all
over the program. I have a variable that is being populated incorrectly,
but
I have no idea where the offending code is. I would be nice to be able
to
just have the debugger watch the value of this variable, and when it is
changed to the invalid value, break. Or when it is changed to any value
break there. This would speed up my debugging immensely.

If anyone knows how to do this in RDi, please let me know, or vote for
my
RFE here
