This code simply runs: it does not stop for the breakpoint.
```julia
module Utils
using Debugger
function myfunc(x)
x = x .^2
@bp
return x .+ 3
end
end
using Main.Utils
Main.Utils.myfunc(3)
```

You need
```julia
@run Main.Utils.myfunc(3)
```

So does it actually mean that I can leave the `@bp` freely in the code without any penalty when running it without the `@run`?

Can the command
> bp add line
(from [https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl)) used to set a breakpoint? It actually seems like the `bp`
commands have been removed the interface of Debugger.

The opposite; they have recently been added and are only available with the master branch right now.

Master of JuliaInterpreter.jl is also needed.

With the master branches of those two packages `bp add` … works…thanks!
