The debugging interface of Eclipse with a program suspended at a breakpoint. Panels with stack trace (upper left) and watched variables (upper right) can be seen. In software development, a breakpoint is an intentional stopping or pausing place in a program, put in place for debugging purposes. It is also sometimes simply referred to as a pause
Often, consuming code registers a callback for a particular type of event. When that event occurs, the callback is called. Callbacks are often used to program the graphical user interface (GUI) of a program that runs in a windowing system. The application supplies a reference to a custom callback function for the windowing system to call.
For example, in user-interface (UI) programming, a routine can set up dialog box fields and pass these, along with a continuation function, to the UI framework. This call returns right away, allowing the application code to continue while the user interacts with the dialog box.
The kill(2) system call sends a specified signal to a specified process, if permissions allow. Similarly, the kill(1) command allows a user to send signals to processes. The raise(3) library function sends the specified signal to the current process.
For example, a single left-button mouse-click on a command button in a GUI program may trigger a routine that will open another window, save data to a database or exit the application. Many IDEs provide the programmer with GUI event templates, allowing the programmer to focus on writing the event code.
A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...
“It’s gonna be abundantly clear that this is what he wants,” Sanders said. “This is who he is, and it’s not gonna work unless you entertain this and give him an assurance that this is ...
In this different sense, "inversion of control" refers to granting the framework control over the implementations of dependencies that are used by application objects [5] rather than to the original meaning of granting the framework control flow (control over the time of execution of application code, e.g. callbacks).
