Design Notes
Breakpoint Properties Dialog
The breakpoint properties dialog design directly affects three of the planned bugs:
- bug 360291 - Allow user to edit line breakpoint file in properties dialog
- bug 360295 - Customize property dialog for editing breakpoints
- bug 360588 - Allow user to edit all its properties prior to creating the breakpoint [DONE]
The data flow in the breakpoint properties dialog is illustrated in the following diagram. Below it is a comparison diagram from the Wind River product.

Minutes
- Issues
- Hard for users to control where breakpoints are installed on multi-core systems
- Breakpoints don't work smoothly in a multi-session situation
- High-level requirements
- Users have trouble seeing where a breakpoint actually applies (target, thread, core, etc)
- Users need a good way to control where a breakpoint should apply
- Need to persist user-configured applicability of breakpoints
- Need multiple breakpoints at the same location so as to configure each one differently
- Synchronization with the GDB console should work in all cases
