[comp.lang.pascal] TP 6.0 Conditional Breakpoint 'Anomaly'

dslg0849@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Daniel S. Lewart) (01/11/91)

Seeing that there has been discussion about problems with the TP 6.0 IDE
made me think it would be worthwhile to post the following excerpt from
\tp\doc\online.zip (fixes.doc):

>   P-197  Stepping into conditional breakpoints
>   --------------------------------------------
>     An anomaly exists when the execution bar is above a conditional
>     breakpoint you've set and the condition is false. If you press F8
>     in this situation, the debugger will execute the statement with
>     the false conditional breakpoint without stopping. To have the
>     debugger stop before executing that statement, it is not necessary
>     to delete the conditional breakpoint. Instead, just position the
>     cursor on the line with the false conditional berakpoint and press
>     F4 (Run|Go to cursor).

I believe that 'anomaly' is to 'b-g' as 'user fee' is to 't-x'.
