Using Breakpoints

You can use OpenGL Profiler to set breakpoints in your application. A breakpoint can occur before or after a specific OpenGL function, when your application uses a software renderer, or when an error or thread conflict occurs. When your application is paused, you can perform a number of tasks, including:

• Examining the call state and OpenGL state

• Viewing and modifying resources

• Viewing buffer contents

• Executing a script that you attach to the breakpoint

You can also choose to disable the execution of one or more OpenGL functions.

This chapter describes how to set breakpoints and describes all the tasks that you can perform only after your application pauses at a breakpoint.
