Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 23:19:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432250354-2721-9-git-send-email-palves@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1432250354-2721-1-git-send-email-palves@redhat.com>

Clarify that currently_stepping works at a higher level than
target_resume.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-05-21  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* infrun.c (currently_stepping): Extend intro comment.
