Currently (using gdb), typing a command like
p foo
will cause the program to jump to the source even thought the program hasn't progressed so it will jump to the same place each time. This is annoying when you want to print out a series of variable and you keep being taken out of the gdb terminal.This PR stops this occurring by recording the previous filename + line we jumped to and only jumping if we are jumping somewhere else.
I have only implemented this for GDB (since it'' the only debugger I use). If there is interest in this PR, I can implement for the others.
