           Summary: optional automatic breaking at main
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: cbruner quadro net


Version:           3.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

It would be useful at times to be able to automatically stop the program before things get set up and run. Usually when this is required it is required for the whole editing/debugging session, and of course the program may change during that period, invalidating manually set breakpoints. 

It is possible to manually set the breakpoint at main each time the debugger starts, but as main may not be in the file you are working on, you must open the file where main is, find main and then set the break point. If you are working on dozens of projects, each having a main, this quickly becomes tedeous.

My wish is that there is an option in kdevelop to have the program automatically break at main. Some people may never use it, but I suspect others will appreciate it.
