- I just learned the details: The nops and the jumping around
- with 'next' and 'step' in debuggers occur in 4.0.2, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4.
- Not in 4.0.1
- Not in 4.0.5 (jumping around removed from 2.40 and 3.10 compilers)
- If you install 4.0.5 compilers you must recompile to avoid the 'jumping
- around' with 'next' and 'step', since the change is in the assembler,
- not in dbx or Workshop/Codevision.
-
- Hope this is worth the netnews bandwidth it takes....
