| <h4 class="subsection">5.1.9 How to save breakpoints to a file</h4> |
| |
| <p>To save breakpoint definitions to a file use the <code>save breakpoints</code><!-- /@w --> command. |
| |
| |
| <a name="index-save-breakpoints-338"></a> |
| <a name="index-save-breakpoints-to-a-file-for-future-sessions-339"></a> |
| <dl><dt><code>save breakpoints [</code><var>filename</var><code>]</code><dd>This command saves all current breakpoint definitions together with |
| their commands and ignore counts, into a file <samp><var>filename</var></samp> |
| suitable for use in a later debugging session. This includes all |
| types of breakpoints (breakpoints, watchpoints, catchpoints, |
| tracepoints). To read the saved breakpoint definitions, use the |
| <code>source</code> command (see <a href="Command-Files.html#Command-Files">Command Files</a>). Note that watchpoints |
| with expressions involving local variables may fail to be recreated |
| because it may not be possible to access the context where the |
| watchpoint is valid anymore. Because the saved breakpoint definitions |
| are simply a sequence of <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands that recreate the |
| breakpoints, you can edit the file in your favorite editing program, |
| and remove the breakpoint definitions you're not interested in, or |
| that can no longer be recreated. |
