Description
Version tested : 0.58.1
Well, the title says it all. I'd want to use wildcards on a function breakpoint.
For example, to stop at anything from package foo.bar I'd like to:
foo.bar.**.*
- I have tested exactly this way and it did nothing at all.
It would be a great addition for us to investigate that obscure problem in the code.
It may imply in creating a way to specify what I want to search. It would be even better :
pkg://foo.bar.**
class://*FooBar
<etc>
I don't know, maybe it is already possible with some other detail, please let me know then. From my research I could just find that FQDNs are being supported.
