Details

From IRC -> "...we should have gdb style "break on <function name>""
Dupe of bug 1164880, which adds functions to the console: debug(foo) // breaks whenever we enter foo undebug(foo) // undo the above ?

I'm not completely sure what the intended user experience should be - this idea came via a series of tubes from :ekr, so I'm ni'ing him. Eric: see #c1 - would Firebug's debug / undebug console helpers fulfill this requirement? If so it looks like this is a dupe.

Yes, it seems like that would work.

(In reply to Eric Rescorla (:ekr) from comment #3) > Yes, it seems like that would work. Thanks. I'm still on the fence about duping this though - maybe we should log a followup bug for bug 1164880 where we consider exposing this in the debugger ui as well.
