- Subject: [remote protocol] step range?
Hey folks,
I know this subject has come up before...
What about a remote protocol command that says
"single step until you leave the range <begin> - <end>".
I suppose it would call for a new target vector, eg.
to_step_range, but it could be a great optimization for
slow remote targets, for doing statement-level stepping,
and would kinda fit right into infrun as if they were made
for each other.
Seems like the last discussion I can find was in 2001...
Would this for instance be a candidate for the new vCont extension?
