5.17.13 Breakpoint Awareness

Using tool tips and icons, breakpoint information is presented in and out of a debug session:

  • When out of a debug session and no build has occurred - if you try to set a breakpoint, a mouse tool tip displays with a blue torn icon stating no debug information is available.
  • When out of a debug session and a build has occurred - if a line has been optimized out, a breakpoint can either be possible or not possible.
  • When in a debug session - the tool tip shows whether a breakpoint can be set or not.

The option to show a tool tip can be disabled if you do not want it (see Tools > Options > Embedded > Generic Settings).
