sedb.breakpoints - Package: sedb

List breakpoints in discrete-event simulation

Syntax

breakpoints b_struct = breakpoints

Description

breakpoints displays a list of all breakpoints in the simulation. The list includes disabled breakpoints, as well as breakpoints that the debugger already hit.

b_struct = breakpoints returns a structure array that stores information about breakpoints in the simulation.

Outputs

b_struct

Structure array that stores information about breakpoints. The following table describes the fields of each structure in the array.

Field Description

ID Breakpoint identifier

Type Type of breakpoint

Value Value associated with the breakpoint, as a string

Enabled 1, if the breakpoint is enabled; 0 otherwise

Examples

Set and view breakpoints:

Begin a debugger session for a particular model. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter:
```
sedebug('sedemo_timeout')
```

Establish breakpoints and then view them in the Command Window. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:

tbreak 0.5
tbreak 1
tbreak 1.5
breakpoints

The output confirms the setting of breakpoints and displays the list of breakpoints:

Set b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 0.500000

Set b2 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.000000

Set b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000


List of Breakpoints: 

 ID        Type        Value       Enabled
 b1        Timed       0.5         yes
 b2        Timed       1           yes
 b3        Timed       1.5         yes

End the debugger session. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:
```
sedb.quit
```

Manipulate the structure array that is the output from breakpoints:

Begin a debugger session for a particular model. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter:
```
sedebug('sedemo_timeout')
```

Establish breakpoints and then record them in a structure variable. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:

tbreak 0.5
tbreak 1
tbreak 1.5
b = breakpoints

The output confirms the setting of breakpoints and displays an initial view of the structure b:

Set b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 0.500000

Set b2 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.000000

Set b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000


b = 

1x3 struct array with fields:
    ID
    Type
    Value
    Enabled

View information about the first breakpoint:

b1 = b(1)

The output is a structure:

b1 = 

         ID: 'b1'
       Type: 'Timed'
      Value: '0.5'
    Enabled: 1

Store the IDs of the enabled breakpoints in a cell array, bid:
```
idx = find([b.Enabled]);
bid = {b(idx).ID}
```
The output is:
```
bid = 

    'b1'    'b2'    'b3'
```
End the debugger session. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:
```
sedb.quit
```
