Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 01/02] fix issue where a branch to pc+4 confuses GDB because pc and npc are set to the same value

[Steven Seeger]

All,

I think that the issue I pointed out the list is not a QEMU bug at all but a 
GDB bug. GDB's sparc software single step implementation seems to be what is 
stuck. It always re-sets the breakpoint at the current instruction in this 
case. It calculates the breakpoint offsets by analyzing the instruction and 
doesn't take this edge case into account. It does not appear to receive an 
invalid npc value from QEMU as I thought it was.
