When the watchpoint triggers a backtrace may be sufficient to isolate the culprit." Could you clarify if there is ever a situation in which f_smob->inferior ought to become NULL, even if the debugged program is continuing? For now I'm trying to add guards to frame-* calls using the modified frame-valid to see what other problems I run into. If it is an endless chain of problems, I can't afford to keep debugging and need to take another approach. If it is a bounded set, then perhaps I can afford to debug these issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
