/// This function will do one of the following:  start a debugger
/// attached to this process stopped on this function;  stop in an
/// already attached debugger;  stop and wait for a debugger to
/// attach, or nothing.
///
/// On Linux this will start a debugger using \c ArchDebuggerAttach()
/// if no debugger is attached.  If a debugger is (or was) attached it
/// will stop on this function due to \c SIGTRAP.  Alternatively, users
/// can configure the debugger to not stop on \c SIGTRAP and instead
/// break on \c ArchDebuggerTrap().
///
/// If a debugger is not attached, \c ArchDebuggerAttach() does not
/// attach one, and \c ArchDebuggerWait() has been most recently
/// called with \c true then this will wait for a debugger to attach,
/// otherwise it does nothing and the process does not stop.  The user
/// can continue the process from the debugger simply by issuing the
/// continue command.  The user can also continue the process from an
/// attached terminal by putting the process into the foreground or
/// background.
