Suppose that you have reached a breakpoint on the call to
+
as set in the example above. To make this breakpoint conditional, choose
Conditional...
from the Breakpoint Options menu:

and enter it in the Condition area of the Breakpoint Options dialog, and click
OK
.
Figure 23.6 The Edit Breakpoint dialog
Now your code breaks at the breakpoint depending on the value of
*use-my-breakpoints*
.
To make a breakpoint unconditional, select Unconditional in the dialog shown above.
Note: you cannot currently access the values of local variables in the condition expression.
