What (who) is breakpoint - definition

INTENTIONAL STOPPING OR PAUSING PLACE IN A PROGRAM, USED FOR DEBUGGING

Breakpoints; Brekpoints; Watchpoint; Watch (computer programming); Watch (programming); Logpoint

breakpoint

<programming> 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. (1999-06-07)

Breakpoint

In software development, a breakpoint is an intentional stopping or pausing place in a program, put in place for debugging purposes. It is also sometimes simply referred to as a pause.

NBPF

FAMILY OF MAMMALIAN GENES INVOLVED IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

Neuroblastoma breakpoint family

The neuroblastoma breaking point family (NBPF) is a family of genes involved in neuronal development. The family is highly specific to primates, with minimal similarity or presence in other mammals and no presence in other animals, and its genes' content has been subject to a very high number of duplications in humans.

Breakpoint

In software development, a breakpoint is an intentional stopping or pausing place in a program, put in place for debugging purposes. It is also sometimes simply referred to as a pause.

More generally, a breakpoint is a means of acquiring knowledge about a program during its execution. During the interruption, the programmer inspects the test environment (general purpose registers, memory, logs, files, etc.) to find out whether the program is functioning as expected. In practice, a breakpoint consists of one or more conditions that determine when a program's execution should be interrupted.

Breakpoints were invented for ENIAC, one of the earliest digital computers, by programmer Betty Holberton. In the initial design of ENIAC, program flow was set by plugging cables from one unit to another. To make the program stop at a certain point, a cable was removed, called a breakpoint.

Examples of use of breakpoint

1. The world No. 3 got the decisive break in the fourth game of the third set, when Robredo‘s nerve deserted him and he double–faulted on breakpoint.

2. His eighth double fault – as opposed to two aces – plus several other errors give Nieminen another breakpoint before Tiger Tim hangs on.

3. Dan Bartlett, White House counsellor, described the formation of the Iraqi government of national unity and the Camp David strategic assessment as a "fundamental breakpoint" for the Iraqi people and the US mission in Iraq.

4. Djokovic rebounded in the second and third sets and after saving a crucial breakpoint in the fourth, dominated the tiebreaker to clinch his first major at his 13th attempt.

5. "I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it‘s due, he played a very good match." Roddick won 117 points to Baghdatis‘ 116, but converted only two of nine breakpoint chances while his rival converted 3 of 10.
