Make breakpoints actually work in parrot_debugger

Reported by: dukeleto Owned by: Paul C. Anagnostopoulos
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: tools Version: 1.5.0
Severity: medium Keywords: tools debugger
Cc: Language:
Patch status: Platform: all

Description

Currently, you can add and delete breakpoints, but they don't actually stop the program flow.

A failing test for this would be a good start.

Actually, breakpoints do work now, although not perfectly. There are some other problems that could stand fixing, so I'm working on them now.

The first round of improvements was committed in r49021. This includes fixes to source file loading, source/disassembly listing, and breakpoints. Note that the code PCs in the source listing are incorrect; use the disassembly listing to set breakpoints.
