- Subject: [RFC] infrun.c: Fix infinite loop caused by breakpoint adjustment
Any comments on the patch below?
It fixes an infinite loop caused by attempting to run to a location
to which it's architecturally impossible to set a breakpoint at. (It's
quite easy to reproduce this problem on FR-V. Just step into some
library code which has been compiled with optimization.)
Since it touches infrun.c, and since a lot of developers are on
holiday at this time of year, I'll wait until January 15 to commit it.
Hopefully, that'll give everyone who'd like to comment on this patch
a chance to look at it.

* infrun.c (step_into_function): Account for possible breakpoint
adjustment when computing ``stop_func_start''.
