5.1.4 Temporary Breakpoints
---------------------------

A "temporary breakpoint" is immediately deleted as soon as it is
reached.(1)

   To set a temporary breakpoint, press _mouse button 3_ on the left of
the source line and select the `Set Temporary Breakpoint' item from the
popup menu.

   As a faster alternative, you can simply double-click on the left of
the source line while holding <Ctrl>.

   Temporary breakpoints are convenient to make the program continue up
to a specific location: just set the temporary breakpoint at this
location and continue execution.

   The `Continue Until Here' item from the popup menu sets a temporary
breakpoint on the left of the source line and immediately continues
execution.  Execution stops when the temporary breakpoint is reached.

   The `Set Temporary Breakpoint' and `Continue Until Here' items are
also accessible via the `Break' button.  Just press and hold _mouse
button 1_ on the button to get a popup menu.
