The break instruction is for debugging support. It signals the CLI to inform the debugger that a break point has been tripped. It has no other effect on the interpreter state.
The break instruction has the smallest possible instruction size so that code can be patched with a breakpoint with minimal disturbance to the surrounding code.
The break instruction might trap to a debugger, do nothing, or raise a security exception: the exact behavior is implementation-defined.
None.
The break instruction is always verifiable.
