Thank you very much for your answer;




I have another question, very confused.I don't understand the mechanism of register caching.

The register cache is initialized at the very beginning, when will it be updated later?

Will it be automatically updated later?




In the infrun.c/displaced_step_prepare() , it can accurately read the original_pc, which is the pc at the breakpoint position.
The instruction replaced by the breakpoint can be obtained through this original_pc;








Thank you very much.
