Interface IWatchpoint

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable, IBreakpoint

public interface IWatchpoint
extends IBreakpoint

A breakpoint that suspends when an associated variable is read or written.

Clients may implement this interface. Clients are not required to implement this interface to implement watchpoints, but those that do inherit default rendering of images for watchpoints from the debug platform's default label provider and actions to toggle access and modification properties of a watchpoint.

Since:

3.1
