[lldb-dev] multi-threaded step out question

[jingham at apple.com]

Step out breakpoints are always thread specific, since they implement operations for one specific thread.  So conceptually there is no breakpoint at the step out destination for thread B, though in practice this means if thread B hits the step out breakpoint it should continue without stopping.  Is this not working?

What should happen if Thread B hits the step-out breakpoint before Thread A? Should Thread B continue past the breakpoint or stop there until Thread A finishes the step-out?
