Mark,
As we talked about on irc, and in addition to looking at this code in
preparation for hardware watchpoints, can I make a small recommendation
here?
isTaskStepped(task) is a query, and should imo not be altering any debug
registers after the fact.
Can I propose a split into:
isTaskStepped(task) and setTaskStepped(task)
Does that make better sense?
Regards
Phil

That does make sense. Although I don't know if someone really needs
setTaskStepped(), so I wouldn't introduce it unless there was a real
usage for it. The reason why the flag is reset here is mentioned in the
original patch email:

I do agree this might not be the most ideal place to reset this flag
though. Maybe it should be moved into LinuxTask.sendContinue()?
Cheers,
Mark

Not sure where, but hopefully somewhere better than an a query function.
