> we would like to improve the RSP command "vCont" for remote debugging. It seems that the range option has been introduced recently to get rid of time consuming, successive single-steps. Our intention is to get rid of further, unnecessary RSP packages being sent as our target is capable to do a step-over (called next by GDB) and a step-return (called finish by GDB). Therefore we propose to extend the vCont command with "vCont;n" and "vCont;f" as well.
Thanks.
