Displays information about breakpoints.
Format
SHOW BREAK
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /PREDEFINED
Displays information about predefined breakpoints.
1.2 /USER
Displays information about user-defined breakpoints.
2 – Description
The SHOW BREAK command displays information about breakpoints
that are currently set, including any options such as WHEN or DO
clauses, /AFTER counts, and so on, and whether the breakpoints
are deactivated.
By default, SHOW BREAK displays information about both user-
defined and predefined breakpoints (if any). This is equivalent
to entering the SHOW BREAK/USER/PREDEFINED command. User-defined
breakpoints are set with the SET BREAK command. Predefined
breakpoints are set automatically when you start the debugger,
and they depend on the type of program you are debugging.
If you established a breakpoint using SET BREAK/AFTER:n, the SHOW
BREAK command displays the current value of the decimal integer
n, that is, the originally specified integer value minus 1 for
each time the breakpoint location was reached. (The debugger
decrements n each time the breakpoint location is reached until
the value of n is 0, at which time the debugger takes break
action.)
On Alpha systems, the SHOW BREAK command does not display
individual instructions when the break is on a particular class
of instruction (as with SET BREAK/CALL or SET BREAK/RETURN).

3 – Examples
1.DBG> SHOW BREAK
breakpoint at SUB1\LOOP
breakpoint at MAIN\MAIN+1F
do (EX SUB1\D ; EX/SYMBOLIC PSL; GO)
breakpoint at routine SUB2\SUB2
/after: 2
DBG>
The SHOW BREAK command identifies all breakpoints that are
currently set. This example indicates user-defined breakpoints
that are triggered whenever execution reaches SUB1\LOOP,
MAIN\MAIN, and SUB2\SUB2, respectively.
2.DBG> SHOW BREAK/PREDEFINED
predefined breakpoint on Ada event "DEPENDENTS_EXCEPTION"
for any value
predefined breakpoint on Ada event "EXCEPTION_TERMINATED"
for any value
DBG>
This command identifies the predefined breakpoints that are
currently set. The example shows two predefined breakpoints,
which are associated with Ada tasking exception events. These
breakpoints are set automatically by the debugger for all Ada
programs and for any mixed language program that is linked with
an Ada module.
