// This file implements the function call injection introduced in go1.11.
//
// The protocol is described in $GOROOT/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s in the
// comments for function runtime·debugCallV1.
//
// The main entry point is EvalExpressionWithCalls which will start a goroutine to
// evaluate the provided expression.
// This goroutine can either return immediately, if no function calls were
// needed, or write a continue request to the scope.callCtx.continueRequest
// channel. When this happens EvalExpressionWithCalls will call Continue and
// return.
//
// The Continue loop will write to scope.callCtx.continueCompleted when it
// hits a breakpoint in the call injection protocol.
//
// The work of setting up the function call and executing the protocol is
// done by evalFunctionCall and funcCallStep.
