1152037 - Implement a UI for setting column breakpoints

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

[Eddy Bruel [:ejpbruel]]

After the last refactor of the breakpoint code, we now should have proper support for column breakpoints in the debugger protocol. Column breakpoints were originally implemented to deal with breakpoints in source mapped sources, but I believe they could be useful to end users as well. Consider the following code:

f(); g(); h();

A line breakpoint on this line would only trigger once, before the call to f. This is very annoying when you want to inspect the state right after the call to f, before the call to g. By setting a columm breakpoint on the call to g you would be able to pause in the middle of the line.
