Re: [PATCH] Fix PR 29609, being able to set a breakpoint on goto/continue/break


We cannot set a breakpoint on the 'goto' because there is no more 'goto' in
the transformed code. My approach was to force the creation of a BB for
the goto statement.

And your approach is wrong if using goto_locus works instead.
I still do not understand your approach. You'd like to fix this issue by correctly setting the locus. I think this is not enough because there is
no proper generated instruction for the goto/exit/continue statement. Look on this example:


if (i < 3)
      break;

On linux/x86 this generates this code:

      cmpl    $3, -4(%ebp)
       jle      .L6

There is no proper insn for the goto statement. 'jle' will always be executed.
