python: in pdb is it possible to enable a breakpoint only after n hit counts?

In eclipse (and several other IDE's as well) there is an option to turn on the breakpoint only after a certain number of hits. In Python's pdb there is a hit count for breakpoints and there is the condition command. How do I connect them?

Solution

  • I found the answer. It's pretty easy actually, there's a command called ignore let's say you want to break at breakpoint in line 9 on the 1,000th time that it is hit:

    b 9

    Output: Breakpoint 1 at ...

    ignore 1 999

    Output: Will ignore next 999 crossings of breakpoint 1.
