A pass count in a breakpoint allows you to stop on the nth time a
breakpoint condition is met. The integrated debugger in Visual C++ 2.0
includes this feature, but it was not documented or exposed.
To enable this feature, use the /BPPASSC:yes switch on the MSVC command
line. This enables the pass count and exposes a Pass Count control in the
breakpoint dialog.
To set this type of breakpoint, fill in the fields in the breakpoint
dialog as follows:
Location: .25
Expression: x==34
Pass Count: 1022
NOTE: The Pass Count is the number of times to skip, so a count of 1022
will stop execution on the 1023rd time.
