Halting on a Control Point
Code execution is halted when the program reaches either a breakpoint or a watchpoint, if
the conditions specified in the definition of the breakpoint or watchpoint have been
reached. Code execution is NOT halted when the program reaches a markpoint.
Counting Control Point
If the interval property is greater than 1, a counting control point has been defined. When
the debugger is running, each time the control point is reached, its current value is
decremented. The debugger halts when the value reaches zero (0). When the debugger
stops on the control point, a command executes (if defined and enabled).
Conditional Control Point
If a condition has been defined and enabled for a control point that halts the debugger, a
command executes (if defined and enabled).
Control Point with Command
When the debugger halts on the control point, a specified command executes.
