-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 4.01, 4.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When using conditional breakpoints with a pass count in CodeView for MS-DOS,
CodeView may initially break at the wrong time.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around the problem, run your program beyond the point where the
variables in the expression are declared or initialized; then set the
conditional breakpoint and resume the program.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 4.0,
4.01, and 4.1. We are researching the problem and will post new information in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The sample program below demonstrates this problem. Build a debug version, load
it into CodeView for MS-DOS, and then type the following commands in the
CodeView command window:

  >bp ?{main}j>2 /p4
  >g
  >g

The first g command stops before i and j are initialized; the second g command
stops at the proper breakpoint location.

Sample Code
-----------

  /* Compile options needed:   /Zi
  */ 

     int a[10][10] = {0};

     void main( void )
     {
         int i, j;

         for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
             for ( j = 0; j < 10; j++ )
                 a[i][j] = i * j;
     }
