Re: MI: event notification

[Jim Ingham <jingham@apple.com>]

We don't do what Nick's suggesting.  We do do something similar for  
shared library notifications - we emit async notifications for shared  
library load events from gdb so Xcode doesn't have to stop on solib  
events & get the shlig list.  Similarly if a shared library load  
causes a pended breakpoint to get loaded we tell about that as well.

But we don't do anything for stack changes.  Note, except in the case  
where you have gotten stuck in some kind of pathological recursion, I  
would be surprised if it's consing up the stack list for the MI that  
takes a significant portion of the time, so I'm not sure this example  
isn't a false optimization.  But anyway, we don't do that.

Most of the notifications we use are to tell Xcode what's happening  
during -interpreter-exec, so it can keep the UI in sync with the  
console.
