Adding event breakpoints

You can set event breakpoints for these types of events: exception caught and exception thrown.
Note: Currently, you can't set event breakpoints for these types of events: signal caught, stop on fork(), stop on vfork(), stop on exec, process exit, process start, end, library load and unload, and thread start, end, and join.
To add an event breakpoint:
  1. In the Breakpoints view of the Debug perspective, from the toolbar menu, select Add Event Breakpoint (C/C++).

    Breakpoints view: Add event breakpoint

  2. Select an event type from the dropdown list.
  3. Click OK.
