# Continue again. We should have a watchpoint go out of scope now
# Continue again. We should have a watchpoint go out of scope now.
#
# The former version expected the test to return to main().
# Now it expects the test to return to main or to stop in the
# function's epilogue.
#
# The problem is that gdb needs to (but doesn't) understand
# function epilogues in the same way as for prologues.
#
# If there is no hardware watchpoint (such as a x86 debug register),
# then watchpoints are done "the hard way" by single-stepping the
# target until the value of the watched variable changes. If you
# are single-stepping, you will eventually step into an epilogue.
# When you do that, the "top" stack frame may become partially
# deconstructed (as when you pop the frame pointer, for instance),
# and from that point on, GDB can no longer make sense of the stack.
#
# A test which stops in the epilogue is trying to determine when GDB
# leaves the stack frame in which the watchpoint was created. It does
# this basically by watching for the frame pointer to change. When
# the frame pointer changes, the test expects to be back in main, but
# instead it is still in the epilogue of the callee.
