>> Can I have gdb totally avoid

soft breakpoints?

I recently posted a patch that tries to use h/w breakpoints when s/w
breakpoints fail. It worked for me in pretty much the same situation as
you seem to be in, but I didn't get any feedback on it. See:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-01/msg00343.html

Just tried it out, and it works nicely. Worthwile putting this into mainline IMHO, if there's no broader approach being worked on currently.

Thanks!

Heiko
