As I understand it, this is a bit of an unfortunate "expected behavior"
at the moment.
One possible way to fix it, I think, it to enhance the linespec module
(used by the "break" command) and the "disassemble" command to automatically
treat integer values as code addresses. For instance, in the case
of the "disassemble" command, perhaps it would be sufficient to
simply cast the value obtained after parsing to a code pointer,
before extracting the value as an address:
pc = value_as_address (parse_to_comma_and_eval (&arg));
After all, the command knows that the address should be code addresses,
not data addresses.
