It looks to me that your impl_breakpoint is simply a linked list of addresses we watch and a few flags. So perhaps we shouldn't introduce two kinds of breakpoints, but instead call that list something entirely different, like bp_data (for ``breakpoint data''). > Thoughts? Comments on the overall approach? OK? I think the direction is correct. Thanks for raising the issue and for working on it. Putting on my documentation maintainer's hat, may I suggest that this project also tries to improve the documentation of our breakpoint handling in gdbint.texinfo, at least to some degree? IMHO it's a shame that breakpoints, _the_ most central facility of any debugger, are documented so poorly. TIA
