[lldb-dev] No event generated after a SBThread::JumpToLine() call

[Jim Ingham via lldb-dev]

JumpToLine just resets the PC, it doesn't continue the process.  For an API, it makes more sense to let the API user decide whether they want to do more work before continuing.  So you wouldn't expect a "running" event.

We could send a PC-changed event, but we generally only send that sort of event to help a GUI keep sync'ed with changes the CLI does (like the eBroadcastBitSelectedFrameChanged event, etc.)  So you wouldn't expect to see that event from the API.
