This question is not appropriate for the gcc@gcc.gnu.org mailing list, which is for the developers of gcc. I really don't know where to ask questions about developing a debugger. If I were writing a debugger, I would probably just single step until the debug info indicated that I had entered a different line number. But that might be too slow. I don't know what actual debuggers do. Fortunately you can simply look at the source code for gdb to see what it does. Ian
