That's correct in so far as we should never hit this on x86(_64) platforms, but ideally we should never run into this code when hitting a "real" breakpoint regardless. This should (to my understanding) only be hit when lldb gets a stop signal where it can't attribute this to a breakpoint it set. Therefore, I expect that this will *always* do the right size step, because the trap instruction must be present in the binary (i.e. as output by the compiler).
