in reply to How perl debugger breakpoint works?

I don't see why breakpoints would be attached to machine opcodes or addresses. Perl code runs in a virtual machine of sorts, so they would be attached to Perl opcodes or lines. (Yes, line information is available. It's stored in nextstate ops for warnings and die.) Sorry, I don't know any details beyond that.

Example Perl opcodes:

$ perl -MO=Concise,-exec -e' print "Hello, "; print "World!\n"; ' 1 <0> enter 2 <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:2) v:{ 3 <0> pushmark s 4 <$> const(PV "Hello, ") s 5 <@> print vK 6 <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:3) v:{ 7 <0> pushmark s 8 <$> const(PV "World!\n") s 9 <@> print vK a <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC -e syntax OK
