Revision history  [back]

Today I was debugging a package that was parsing through a list (~150 items) that conditionally did something. It was acting up and I was trying to determine how many times a particular function was being called. It's trivial to put a breakpoint at the right place, and I see the "hits" column in the breakpoint panel. That's all well and good, but I need to mash the F5 button many dozens of times on each debug iteration and that's tedious. The "Ignores" feature of breakpoints unfortunately doesn't increment the hit counter. I could introduce a counter into the code, for sure, but it seems like Wing has everything I need with the exception of allowing me to not stop at a breakpoint but just count the number of times it was encountered.

Could this be a future feature? The introduction of a "hitcounter" type of breakpoint or watch?

Thanks, Anthony.
