Description Richard Stuckey 2010-06-01 08:37:23 UTC 
The syntax of the 'break' command is

   break [LOCATION] [thread THREADNUM] [if CONDITION]

where location may be "*" followed by an address, e.g.

   break *0x0001e170

However, if the thread qualifier is added, e.g.

   break *0x0001e170 thread 2

then the error message

   A syntax error in expression, near `thread 2'.

is received.

However, no error is reported if the condition is supplied instead, e.g.

    break *0x0001e170 if $sp < 0xFFFF0000
