May I suggest that those who try to respond to this question read the post more carefully? David asked how to set breakpoints during compilation, not from within a debugger. Your suggestions regarding gdb and ddd are nice but won't be of much help for him. [This also concerns me, as many of you know:] Please, before responding, first read the post completely and carefully. Useless "responses" which completely miss the target of the post don't help anyone. Regards, Nico
