Yes, we should fix our stepping to avoid these line number 0. I would avoid
changing LineEntry::IsValid(), but possibly add another check like
"IsValidSourceLocation()" that would return
bool
LineEntry::IsValidSourceLocation() const
{
return IsValid() && m_line != 0;
}
We should let Jim comment on any stepping related changed.
