I originally learned C with the MIX-C package. It was superb, I thought, but
they never migrated it to 32-bit, so I moved to DJGPP some years ago.

One useful thing the MIC-C package offered was the ability to put "pragmas"
into the text, which would be interpreted by the debugger. In particular,
you could put

program line
program line
program line
program line

#pragma trace -
no-step program line
no-step program line
no-step program line
#pragma trace +

program line
program line
program line
program line

When single-stepping through the program, the "program line"s would be
single-stepped, but the "no-step program line"s would not.
With DJGPP/RHIDE, you could always position the cursor on the first program
line after the #pragma trace + and press F4, which would have the same
effect, but I found this feature really useful.

Is there any equivalent with DJGPP/RHIDE that I don't know about?

Thanks,

Mike.
