In my opinion, this is not a critical issue. IIUC, this is not a regression,
and the only issue is that, for the "main", the breakpoint will be placed
at a location such that the debugger will stop at the open curly brace.
So the user will need an extra "next".
That and the fact that global c++ ctors will only run after "next".
That's what's most different, and surprising.
I did notice that the fix gets rid of a lot of FAILs though.
This happens, because a lot of tests fail because runto_main or
similar fails.
If it was just me, I would categorize this as non release-critical.
But the rest of the group might disagree, so I'll defer to them.
I agree. I'd like this to go in, of course, but there's no rush
from me.
