## Debug Configuration Flags
## Item Picker

Runtime flags available in `ImGuiIO` (and exposed in Demo->Configuration):
```cpp
// Option to enable various debug tools showing buttons that will call the IM_DEBUG_BREAK() macro.
// - The Item Picker tool will be available regardless of this being enabled, in order to maximize its discoverability.
// - Requires a debugger being attached, otherwise IM_DEBUG_BREAK() options will appear to crash your application.
// e.g. io.ConfigDebugIsDebuggerPresent = ::IsDebuggerPresent() on Win32, or refer to ImOsIsDebuggerPresent() imgui_test_engine/imgui_te_utils.cpp for a Unix compatible version).
bool ConfigDebugIsDebuggerPresent; // = false // Enable various tools calling IM_DEBUG_BREAK().
The Item Picker will allow you to pick an item with the mouse and have Dear ImGui break within the call-stack of that item. This is useful if you have large UI / codebase and you would to easily find out where some UI item is emitted.
You can find it in _Metrics>Tools>Item Picker_ or expose it in your own UI by calling `ImGui::DebugStartItemPicker()`.See [#2673](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2673) for more details.

// Presently Begin()/End() and BeginChild()/EndChild() needs to ALWAYS be called in tandem, regardless of return value of BeginXXX()

## Debug Break Buttons
When `io.ConfigDebugIsDebuggerPresent` is enabled, various `**DebugBreak**` buttons will appears in debug tools. Clicking them will attempt to break you in debugger in the desired location:
