condition
property
writable
¶
An LLDB expression to make this a conditional breakpoint.
locations
property
¶
LLDB locations array the breakpoint relates to.
name

¶
A name for the breakpoint. When getting, if the breakpoint has multiple names, raises an exception.
remove ¶
Remove the breakpoint (unless the breakpoint is marked as guarded, see remove_guarded argument)

where
property
¶
A value identifying where the watchpoint was set (when it was created).
It could be either an address (int) or a Hilda symbol object (Symbol, that inherits from int). Note that self.address is similar, but self.where is where the watchpoint was set when it was created (using Hilda API), and self.address is the actual address. They should have the same value, although self.where may be a Hilda Symbol.
callback
property
writable
¶
A callback that will be executed when the watchpoint is hit.
Note that unless the callback explicitly continues (by calling cont()), the program will not continue.
The callback will be invoked as callback(hilda, *args), where hilda is the 'HildaClient'.
condition
property
writable
¶
An LLDB expression to make this a conditional watchpoint.
WatchpointList ¶
Manager for HildaWatchpoint objects, each one wrapping another native LLDB watchpoint.
