Hello, According to the mail thread in http://sourceware-org.1504.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-Support-targets-that-know-how-to-step-over-breakpoints-td61666.html I update patches to change step to continue. When thread hop needed, GDB can use continue over breakpoints let the inferior keep going. The interface that add to target is: to_can_continue_over_breakpoints, it will return true if target can continue over breakpoints. to_next_continue_over_breakpoints, call this function before call to_resume will make to_resume do continue_over_breakpoints instead of continue. This patch is the GDB part that support continue over breakpoints. And there also have patches for doc, server and test. I will introduce them clear inside the mails of that paches. Please help me review it.
