3.3.6.2 Deleting Breakpoints

It is often necessary to eliminate a breakpoint which has done its job and is no longer needed. This is called deleting the breakpoint. A deleted breakpoint no longer exists, and its sequence number is returned to the pool of available numbers.

It is not necessary to delete a breakpoint to proceed past it. Mixsim automatically ignores breakpoints on the first instruction to be executed when you continue execution without changing the execution address.

DELETE [number-list]
D [number-list]

Delete specified breakpoints. number-list is a whitespace-separated list of breakpoint numbers. If no argument is specified, delete all breakpoints (in this case mixsim asks confirmation).

When prefixed with ADDRESS (abbreviated AD), number-list is treated as a list of addresses, instead of breakpoint numbers.

Examples:

  1. Delete all breakpoints:
     
    MIX> DELETE
    
  2. Delete breakpoints 1, 3 and 5:
     
    MIX> DELETE 1 3 5
    
  3. Delete breakpoints set at addresses 1000 and 3000:
     
    MIX> ADDRESS DELETE 1000 3000
