Breakpoints

Breakpoint support is provided by the BreakpointService class. Each debugger has its own instance, which can be used through its breakpoint attribute.

Setting Breakpoints

Detailed information about breakpoints in TRACE32 can be found in general_ref_b.pdf chapter “Break.Set”.

>>> bp = dbg.breakpoint.set(<arguments>)
>>> print(bp)

The arguments are the same as for Breakpoint objects.

One way to set a breakpoint is to set it directly to an address:

>>> addr = dbg.address.from_string("P:0x1234")
>>> bp = dbg.breakpoint.set(address=addr)
>>> print(bp)

It’s also possible to set a breakpoint to a symbol:

>>> sym = dbg.symbol.query_by_name(name="main")
>>> print(sym)
>>> bp = dbg.breakpoint.set(address=sym.address)
>>> print(bp)

Other breakpoint parameters

Other supported breakpoint parameters include action, implementation and type. Please refer to the breakpoint reference for details.

Manipulating Breakpoints

Breakpoint objects can be used to manipulate breakpoints.

Disabling and Enabling Breakpoints

>>> bp = dbg.breakpoint.set(<arguments>)
>>> bp.disable()
>>> bp.enable()

Deleting and setting Breakpoints

>>> bp = dbg.breakpoint.set(<arguments>)
>>> bp.delete()
>>> bp.set()

Breakpoint list

Returns a list with all current breakpoint objects.

>>> bps = dbg.breakpoint.list()
>>> for bp in bps:
>>>     print(bp)
