of the way. If we let other threads run while we do that, they may
pass by the breakpoint location and miss hitting it. To avoid
that, a step-over momentarily stops all threads while LWP is
- single-stepped while the breakpoint is temporarily uninserted from
- the inferior. When the single-step finishes, we reinsert the
- breakpoint, and let all threads that are supposed to be running,
- run again.

- On targets that don't support hardware single-step, we don't
- currently support full software single-stepping. Instead, we only
- support stepping over the thread event breakpoint, by asking the
- low target where to place a reinsert breakpoint. Since this
- routine assumes the breakpoint being stepped over is a thread event
- breakpoint, it usually assumes the return address of the current
- function is a good enough place to set the reinsert breakpoint. */
