#ifndef BREAKPOINT_H
#define BREAKPOINT_H

/* XXX This is currently a very weak abstraction.  We would like to
 * much expand this to allow things like breakpoints on SDT probes and
 * such.
 *
 * In particular, we would like to add a tracepoint abstraction.
 * Tracepoint is a traceable feature--e.g. an exact address, a DWARF
 * symbol, an ELF symbol, a PLT entry, or an SDT probe.  Tracepoints
 * are named and the user can configure which of them he wants to
 * enable.  Realized tracepoints enable breakpoints, which are a
 * low-level realization of high-level tracepoint.
 *
 * Tracepoints are provided by the main binary as well as by any
 * opened libraries: every time an ELF file is mapped into the address
 * space, a new set of tracepoints is extracted, and filtered
 * according to user settings.  Those tracepoints that are left are
 * then realized, and the tracing starts.
 *
 * A scheme like this would take care of gradually introducing
 * breakpoints when the library is mapped, and therefore ready, and
 * would avoid certain hacks.  For example on PPC64, we don't actually
 * add breakpoints to PLT.  Instead, we read the PLT (which contains
 * addresses, not code), to figure out where to put the breakpoints.
 * In prelinked code, that address is non-zero, and points to an
 * address that's not yet mapped.  ptrace then fails when we try to
 * add the breakpoint.
 *
 * Ideally, return breakpoints would be just a special kind of
 * tracepoint that has attached some magic.  Or a feature of a
 * tracepoint.  Service breakpoints like the handling of dlopen would
 * be a low-level breakpoint, likely without tracepoint attached.
 *
 * So that's for sometimes.
