Description

« Hide

For example, I have a variable declaration on one line and assignment on another. I set the breakpoint on the declaration line, and when I debug my program, the breakpoint is silently disabled. It would be much more convenient if the breakpoint would be automatically moved to the next line, containing the assignment.

Such a move should probably never cross method boundaries.

This behavior is how Visual Studio currently works.

I think the breakpoint should be transparently moved, without actually moving the line that the breakpoint is on. It seems silly limitation that I can only break on executable lines. Obviously I want the execution point to stop when it reaches that line, whether it executes anything on the line or not.
