<p>I am pretty sure I have seen this before, but I haven't found out / remembered how to do it.  I want to have a line of code that when executed from the Delphi debugger I want the debugger to pop-up like there was a break point on that line.  </p>

<p>Something like:</p>

<pre><code>FooBar := Foo(Bar);
SimulateBreakPoint; // Cause break point to occur in Delphi IDE if attached
WriteLn('Value: ' + FooBar);
</code></pre>

<p>Hopefully that makes sense. I know I could use an exception, but that would be a lot more overhead then I want.  It is for some demonstration code.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

To trigger the debugger from code (supposedly, I don't have a copy of delphi handy to try):
```
```
asm int 3 end;
```
```
