Makefiles can be automatically exported whenever a project is updated. Back to Questions Breakpoints are tools used to help programmers troubleshoot errors in a program. Breakpoints are placed at a line of code, and halt the execution of the program at that specified line. This allows the programmer to check the values of variables throughout the program at the bottom of the screen in the debug window. Breakpoints are very useful in finding the exact location of errors in program.
Most errors occur within loops.
So, if your program uses loop constructs you should probably place breakpoints at the beginning of each loop. This will help you debug your program. This will allow you to step through the loop line by line while making sure the number of loop iterations is correct, and the values of your variables are correct. However, if you are not using any loop constructs in your program you may just choose to place breakpoints at strategic places in the program where you feel an error is likely to occur. It is a good idea to place breakpoints at complex calculations where many different variables are used.
