//! Set breakpoints from within the comfort of your editor.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Import the macros from the `breakpoint` crate. Unfortunately, the
//! `breakpoint!()` macro relies on the `asm!()` macro, so we need
//! `#![feature(asm)]` as well.
//!
//! ```rust
//! #![feature(asm)]
//! #[macro_use] extern crate breakpoint;
//! # fn main() { }
//! ```
//!
//! Then, anywhere you would like to pause at in your debugger, add the
//! following line:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #![feature(asm)]
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate breakpoint;
//! # fn main() {
//! # if false {
//! // Always pause.
//! breakpoint!();
//! # }
//!
//! // Only pause if `condition` is true.
//! # let condition = false;
//! breakpoint!(condition);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! Imagine we have this really tricky function that needs to be debugged,
//! because we are seeing integer underflows:
//!
//! ```rust
//! fn tricky_function_must_be_debugged(val: usize) -> usize {
//!     val - 1
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! We can set a breakpoint in the program from the comfort of our editor,
//! rebuild, and run under a debugger to see where things are going wrong:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #![feature(asm)]
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate breakpoint;
//! # fn main() { }
//!
//! fn tricky_function_must_be_debugged(val: usize) -> usize {
//!     // Set a breakpoint before the underflow, so we can debug!
//!     breakpoint!();
//!     val - 1
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! If the  problematic function is  only called  a handful of  times, congrats!
//! You've uncovered the root cause of the bug by now!
//!
//! If, however, the tricky function is called many times, and the bug only
//! manifests after many calls, it is useful to break only if some condition
//! evaluates to true:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #![feature(asm)]
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate breakpoint;
//! # fn main() { }
//!
//! fn tricky_function_must_be_debugged(val: usize) -> usize {
//!     // Only break if we are going to underflow!
//!     breakpoint!(val == 0);
//!     val - 1
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Why?
//!
//! It can be convenient. Especially when you're already in your editor, you
//! can't remember your debugger's incantation for conditional breakpoints
//! (often made worse by poor support for parsing Rust expressions in current
//! versions of debuggers), and/or your crate isn't super big so rebuilding is
//! fast.
//!
//! In particular, I got annoyed that panics from failing tests didn't
//! automatically pause my debugger, and could never remember the incantation
//! for breaking on panic off the top of my head. I find this easier than that,
//! most of the time.
//!
//! Admittedly, `breakpoint!()` is far from perfect. These things tend to work
//! better in dynamic languages where re-evaluating a function is super easy and
//! doesn't need a full recompilation.
