Can you clarify: (1) What if the user chose the first of these options and the program changed the variable multiple times between lines 112 and 120? Should the debugger suppress the program's changes to ensure that the variable stays at the given value until line 120? (2) Why does the user need to choose a location at all, instead of just using the location that matches the current PC? -- Andreas _______________________________________________ Dwarf-Discuss mailing list Dwarf-Discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org http://lists.dwarfstd.org/listinfo.cgi/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org
