Hello,
GDB, in a number of places, refers to the ``pc'' - PC_REGNUM, frame->pc,
read_pc(), write_pc(), ...
I think this name choice was unfortunate. It is too easy for a
developer to confuse ``pc'' with the hardware ``pc''.
With this in mind, I'd like to propose a GDBspeak ``resume_addr''. It
is the address of the first instruction that will be executed when the
target resumes.
thoughts? better names?
Andrew
