Is it possible to skip over an abitrary amount of a loop during debug?? Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to find an error in my code. The problem is the error occurs in a loop. But the loop iterates about 500 times. Instead of clicking through the loop. Is it possible to skip over a certain amount of the loop ??

Answer 1

VS allows you to set a condition on a breakpoint in terms of variables that are in scope. So, in your case, you can test against the loop counter.

Answer 2

Here is a crude answer:

if ((iter % 10) == 0) {
    int stop = 1;
}

Then place a break-point at "int stop = 1;". Perhaps, there is a better way in VS but this is what I do from time-to-time.
