Stop messages

There are five reasons why your program might be automatically paused:

• The program hit one of the default breakpoints, for example, exit or abort. See Default breakpoints for more information.

• The program hit a user-defined breakpoint, that is a breakpoint shown in the Breakpoints view.

• The value of a watched variable changed.

• The program was sent a signal. See Signal handling for more information.

• The program encountered a memory debugging error. See Pointer error detection and validity checking for more information.

The message displayed informs you why the program was paused. To copy the message text to the clipboard, select it, right-click, then select Copy.

If you want to suppress these messages, for example if you are playing from one breakpoint to another, use the Control Messages menu to enable or disable stop messages.
