Jint Debugging - set next statement

[martinbu]

Hi,

I am currently analyzing the Jint Debugging possibilities and found examples at Jint.DebugAdapter and Jint.DebuggerExample.

What I could not found until now is the possibility to explicitly set the next statement where the Jint engine should continue. So if a breakpoint is hit, to set the next statement to a previous one or to a statement after the current location skipping the lines in between.

So the main question is: Does the Jint Engine support explicitly setting which statement should be executed next?

Jint currently doesn't support skipping statements until some condition AFAIK. /cc @Jither

Nope - that would probably be more of an engine functionality than a debugger functionality - there's no way for the debugger to tell Jint to change the actual execution - but then, most runtimes don't allow that either - it makes optimization and scope handling quite a bit trickier.
