Re: GDB is stepping past main()

I asked to step and started waiting for the program termination message.
And get that stopped somewhere "don't know where"...

Don't you think all this detecting is a debugger's task???

Or else it turns out that the "step" in gdb is broken and has no 
defined semantics and needs to be carefully controlled from outside 
(whether it made the stepping or not and where it happened to stop)!

And all this "detecting" and outside patches-workarounds are very ugly 
solution :(

Working with GDB MI itself is finding the way in the dark, and such
"surprises" like broken commands doesn't rise gdb in users eyes at all...
