Re: Step outer function call


Hi,

I don't know much about the debug formats, but it seems to me that since the debugger knows what line number it is on in the source code, it should be able to locate the last function call on that line number and enter it for this hypothetical command that many people seem to want.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Folks do seem to want this fairly often. But current debug formats do not provide enough information to identify the situation, so (as far as we've been able to determine) there's no way to implement it.
