Important Breakpoints not working!?

Post by flimbo72 »

Hello everybody!

Never in my life I thought to be able to program in assembly, but I've been into it for a couple of months and it's a blast! Thanks Matt Heffernan!!!!

Like many of you, I'm using the X16 emulator, which is just great.
So far I've been using release 41, though ( :o ) so I decided to give a try to the latest one (release 43 Stockholm).

To my surprise, I can't make breakpoints work in the debugger anymore!
I set my breakpoint with F9 and then close the debugger pressing F5. However, when I run my program, the debugger just doesn't pop up. The breakpoint is completely ignored.
I couldn't find any post claiming such a bug in the emulator, so... Am I doing something wrong? Does breakpoint setting work differently now?

Please let me know.
The debugger is such a useful, invaluable feature for me.
I had to revert to release 41, which is a shame.

Thanks,
Giacomo

Yep, r43 broke breakpoints unfortunately, but the good news is, a fix is available in this discussion thread, where this issue was brought up originally.

Thanks and sorry.
I'm new here and don't know how to browse older threads yet.
But I'll learn!
