Set Different (consecutive stops on different file/line positions)

set different [ on | off ]

Set consecutive stops must be on different file/line positions. If no argument is given, different is set “off”.

One of the challenges of debugging is getting the granualarity of stepping comfortable. By setting different “on” you can set a more coarse-level of stepping which often still is small enough that you won’t miss anything important.

Note that the step and next debugger commands have ‘+’ and ‘-’ suffixes if you wan to override this setting on a per-command basis.
