What exactly is wrong with > generating breakpoint events as we do now? Do the words "it's stupid" mean anything to you? From gdb-events.h: /* User Interface Events. Copyright 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. "User Interface Events". User interfaces don't care about internal breakpoints -- only user-set breakpoints. IMO all of the breakpoints excluded from the event trigger are BACKEND breakpoints, and they should not ever be exposed to users (or non-backend code). If someone writing ui code needs to know about internal breakpoints, he doing something wrong. Keith
