no longer can set breakpoint on 'pass' statement?

[Mark Winrock]

Can someone point me to some documentation as to why pdb breakpoints are
not working on 'pass' statements (at least on 2.4.1)?

I was used to that working in the 2.2.3 build I was using up to this
last year. I just cant seem to find anything on it.

Thanks!

I don't know for sure if this is the issue, but Python _used_ to
include line number information in the actual codestream (via
instructions), and now I think it's a separate table for speed reasons.
So perhaps the previous ability to set breakpoints on pass
instructions was merely an artifact of code which updated the current
line number.
