Subject: [remote protocol] step range?
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:15:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48C05DAF.3070705@vmware.com> (raw)

Hey folks,

I know this subject has come up before...

What about a remote protocol command that says
"single step until you leave the range <begin> - <end>".

I suppose it would call for a new target vector, eg.
to_step_range, but it could be a great optimization for
slow remote targets, for doing statement-level stepping,
and would kinda fit right into infrun as if they were made
for each other.

Seems like the last discussion I can find was in 2001...

Would this for instance be a candidate for the new vCont extension?
