I don't have any concrete plans. But among the things a debugger can do with this information: - Display likely jump targets to the user. - Set breakpoints on every basic block in a function in order to trace execution a little more efficiently than single stepping. - Perhaps improve efficiency of checkpoint/restart reverse debugging. I'm sure there's plenty more :-) -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
