Actually I have no idea what you were displaying. Single stepping
implied to me instruction stepping.

ELF/DWARF with the right type of support tools and correct description
of the generated code can be very useful on debugging complex pieces of
application code.

With the right type of support code metrics logging, implied print
statements, complex break points that only stops execution when some
logical expression is met is all possible.
