Re: [patch/ob] not_a_breakpoint -> not_a_sw_breakpoint



Well, throw/catch events will be (haven't done it yet) implemented
using (some kind of) breakpoints.  Whether they will be in the table or
not is a different question.  I personally think that the way
catchpoints are handled at the moment is all wrong, since it relies on
the to_wait method to determine what event occured; which is perfect
for event reporting mechanisms and awful for events synthesized by
breakpoints.
The software single step breakpoint, has a similar problem. One theory is to use the breakpoint table for them as well. The current interfaces definitly do not lend themselves to such a model.

enjoy,
Andrew
