Uh, sorry I didn't throw in my two cents earlier, but I am
confused by one clause in this paragraph:
Some programs contain an elaboration phase where some startup code is
executed before the main program is called. This depends on the
languages used to write your program. In C@t{++} for instance, class
constructors are executed before @code{main} is called. It is therefore
possible that the debugger stops before reaching the main procedure.
However, the temporary breakpoint will remain to halt execution.
I don't think 'class constructors' is right here. It's more like
'constructors for static and global objects'.
Other than that, the new doco looks great to me.
