breakpoint

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Financial, Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

The location in a program used to temporarily halt the program for testing and debugging. Lines of code in a source program are marked for breakpoints. When those instructions are about to be executed, the program stops, allowing the programmer to examine the status of the program (registers, variables, etc.). After inspection, the programmer can step through the program one line at a time or cause the program to continue running either to the end or to the next breakpoint, whichever comes first.

(programming)breakpoint - A point in a program that, when reached, triggers some special behavior useful to the process of debugging; generally, breakpoints are used to either pause program execution, and/or dump the values of some or all of the program variables. Breakpoints may be part of the program itself; or they may be set by the programmer as part of an interactive session with a debugging tool for scrutinizing the program's execution.
