Fraser and Hanson's book "A Retargetable C Compiler" talks a little
about what needs to be in a compiler to support (mostly stabs-based)
debugging, and in Mitchell, Friedman, and Wand's (sp?) book
"Essentials of Programming Languages" several pages are devoted to the
use of first-class continuations to implement breakpoints and escape
procedures.
