Summary
This post details the use of data breakpoints for C++ developers in Visual Studio. It explains how to set a data breakpoint to stop execution when a specific memory location changes, which is useful for debugging memory corruption issues. The post provides a step-by-step example using a C++ sample, demonstrating how to find the memory address of a variable (m_myint) and set a data breakpoint on that address to identify where the value changes. It also mentions that this feature is available in Visual Studio 2015 and refers to MSDN documentation for earlier versions.
