Abstract
A method for evaluating a breakpoint in a line of source code includes encountering the breakpoint and evaluating whether the breakpoint is at the start of the line. If the breakpoint is at the start of the line, then the debugger stops at the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line, then the debugger evaluates whether the breakpoint is reached via a back branch. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line and is reached via a back branch, then the debugger stops at the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line and is not a back branch target, then the debugger passes the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint.
