Program-Triggered Breakpoints
Submitted by |
The other day when I read the Conditional Breakpoints TOTD I remembered
something I'd read somewhere regarding interrupt 3. I'm not sure about other
OS's, but certainly all Windows debuggers utilise it (unless you have a BIOS
setting disabling it or something similar).
The difference between this an the other TOTD is that this one appears to work
on _all_ compilers, not just MSVC.
Basically, you insert a piece of code, like so, into your program where you want
a breakpoint:
// check for validity
if (x 24)
{
// breakpoint
_asm
{
int 3
}
} |
Note that this only works if you're running with a debugger and your program was
compiled in a "debug mode" (if availible), or else some other int 3 might be
called.
Try it out...
