<p>You create a watchpoint to monitor a value in a specified memory location. The debugger halts program execution on the line of source code that triggered the watchpoint. This is different than a breakpoint, which halts program execution prior to executing the line of source code on which the breakpoint is set.</p>

<p>Right-click in the <a href="../breakpoints/viewing_breakpoints.htm">Breakpoints</a> view and choose the  <b>Add Watchpoint (C/C++)...</b> command to open the <b>Add Watchpoint</b> window. A watchpoint suspends program execution when the memory location that you specify is accessed with a write or read operation and it's based on the access setting. Use the <b>Add Watchpoint</b> window to specify the  memory location, its memory size, unit size, and define whether the watchpoint  triggers on a read, write, or on both operations. Watchpoints can also be added directly in the <a href="../../reference/view_variables.htm">Variables</a>, <a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/reference/cdt_u_outline_view.htm">Outline</a>, and the <a href="../../reference/view_memory_wnd.htm">Memory Rendering</a> views.</p>
