So, > something must emulate the displaced instruction. I'm almost totally uninterested in breakpoints that actually re-write instructions. It's impossible to do that efficiently and well, especially in threaded environments. So if you do instruction rewriting, I can only say "that's your problem". But using the hardware breakpoints should automatically DTRT, both wrt threads _and_ wrt restarting. Sure, there's onyl a limited number of them, so if somebody wants more than that they are kind of screwed, but that's just how life is.
