    Interesting idea! Although it seems to be very invasive. If it really detours code the breakpoint suddenly modifies execution. Most debuggers seem to bebuilt as pure measurement tools. And i have the feeling for good reason: Understanding when the code will be executed is a big part of debugging. And the need to detour suggests the code is poorly debuggable.

      True. If I forget the detour points from a previous debugging session, I’m going to have a bad time.

      And the need to detour suggests the code is poorly debuggable.

      Indeed. Unfortunately that’s nothing you get to choose, so, the more important are better tools.
