Switching Debuggers (To or From Inspect and Visual
Inspect)
Switching Debuggers (To or From Inspect and
Visual Inspect)
If you need to use features that are unique to another debugger, you can switch to a
different debugger as follows:
Breakpoint attributes are not passed between debuggers. When you switch debuggers,
Native Inspect preserves the breakpoints that you have set in the current process,
along with any conditions associated with the breakpoints, including ignore counts or
disabling of a breakpoint. When you switch back to Native Inspect, the breakpoint
conditions, ignore-counts, and disable attribute are reinstated just as they were when
you switched control of the process.
When you switch to another debugger and return to Native Inspect:
•
Breakpoint attributes are preserved for existing breakpoints.
•
Breakpoints that you deleted using the other debugger are deleted from Native
Inspect's breakpoint list.
•
Breakpoints that you added using the other debugger are added to Native Inspect's
breakpoint list, with default attribute values.
