Yeah, we are in agreement here. My point is that there are "source" locations (or whatever we want to call them) and "target" locations (or whatever we want to call them). We have to go back to the manual and the design stage and separate all these out as separate concepts. mec> (gdb) break *0x12345678 ms> Now I don't follow you. "*0x12345678" isn't a source address. ms> Is it? Ah, I am just saying that this is a user command that is oriented towards "target" locations. So we can't just hide the concept of "target" location from people, because that concept is already present in the input language. Michael C
