I am aware of setting breakpoint base on function name in WinDBG using bp, bm commands is there a way to set break point break on source code line number

say 

 <some command> 20

means it should set breakpoint at line 20

Thanks in advance

bp `source.c:12`

Optionally, you can load the source file in WinDBG, set the cursor to the line you want to set a breakpoint to, and hit F9.

Also try .hh bp for more info
