New debugger: inserting breakpoints.

WINDBG
1

Hey folks,

Quick question: I used to be able to insert a breakpoint into code via
the GUI by putting the focus on a line of source code, and clicking on
the “hand” button on the toolbar - the breakpoint inserted would then be
something like: @@masm{“blah something or other”}

Running the newest “fancy docking windows” version of WinDbg, I find
that the same button now brings up a dialog, with no equivalent “insert
breakpoint at current focus” button. I’m finding it quite a pain in the
posterior.

Any ideas?

MH.

Sounds like your source path is not set in a way to relate the opened
source file to the actual binary/pdb being debugged. If you close the
source file and then double click on a frame in the calls window which
contains a problematic source file, does the source file automatically
open? If not, then the source-window/pdb relationship is not made.
