829028 - Debugger should not interrupt the client twice at the same location

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza]]

Imagine following scenario:

 1. var a = 10;
*2. var b = 20;    // this line has a breakpoint
 3. var c = 30;

1) The script execution starts at line #1
2) The user steps-over and the next interrupt happens at line #2
3) The user steps-over and the next interrupt happens at line #2 again because of the breakpoint.

The debugger (server side) should be smart enough to recognize that the second interrupt (at the line #2) is not necessary (it's the same debugging location as where the debugger already is).

I think BA_hit should just continue instead of pausing, if onStep or onEnetrFrame hooks are set on the frame/debugger. Maybe only onStep, since stepping over a function could trigger breakpoints inside that function and perhaps pausing there would be expected?

Don't pause twice on a breakpoint or debugger statement while stepping

This works but needs a test.

Don't pause twice on a breakpoint or debugger statement while stepping v2

Added tests for both cases described in comment 1.
