Description Tim Broberg CLA 2015-04-14 15:52:13 EDT 
We could really use to see the current hit count, so we can set the hit point to a zillion, find n - the remaining hit count, set the hit count to a zillion - n, and then rerun.

#38758 and #66454 requested this, but were WONTFIX'ed as it's just not possible with the then-current debugger.

In #352585, Justin mentions that the hit count implementation broke because of a change in the debugger implementation.

Is it possible that the change that broke hit count also allows us to access the hit count for display?

Either way, thanks for your hard work on the tremendous (let alone free) product,
    - Tim.

From Bug 352585, I could not find the information about any bug which has broken this behavior.

Hi, Sarika.

This behavior is an enhancement, not a regression.

The relevant information in #352585 is that "we created our own breakpoint type."

The question is, does the new breakpoint implementation referenced in #352585 expose the hit count, invalidating the reasons for WONTFIX'ing #38758 and #66454?
