While the legal stuff will probably need more time,
I quickly wrote a test case for this. Hope this helps to understand
how the patch works.

Attached you'll find a test case for the skip of inline functions,
I also added a test for the glitch in the first version of the patch.
(counting step over skipped inlined functions wrong)

Thanks
Bernd.
