+Insert or remove memory based breakpoints. Reasonable defaults
+(@code{default_memory_insert_breakpoint} and
+@code{default_memory_remove_breakpoint} respectively) have been
+provided so that it is not necessary to define these for most
+architectures. Architectures which may want to define
+@var{MEMORY_INSERT_BREAKPOINT} and @var{MEMORY_REMOVE_BREAKPOINT} will
+likely have instructions that are oddly sized or are not stored in a
+conventional manner.
+
+It may also be desirable (from an efficiency standpoint) to define
+custom breakpoint insertion and removal routines if
+@var{BREAKPOINT_FROM_PC} needs to read the target's memory for some
+reason.

@item CALL_DUMMY_P
A C expresson that is non-zero when the target suports inferior function
calls.
