Does this mean
one register = one memory region
Or
one register = all the memory regions (at once)

I think the former but the phrasing implies the latter.

How about:
"an array of memory regions, each of which can be watched by one"

Thanks, good clarification.

Looks a lot like Range from lldb/include/lldb/Utility/RangeMap.h. If any of the existing methods on that seem useful, consider using that.

(though iirc, it does get cumbersome at times)

I was originally using a std::pair, it's a simple POD tuple used only within the WatchpointAlgorithms class (and the unittest). If I was passing it outside of these methods I'd agree shouldn't introduce Yet Another Range object.

So again, "each of which can be watched with".

Pointer sized means sizeof(void*) or literally 2^(virtual address bits)-1 sized?

alingments -> alignments

Would be helpful to say that this is the minimum byte size of the range of memory.

Lest anyone think this thing supports architectures where a byte is in fact 8 bytes.

size_t user_size,

};

I would've put this in the unittest.

"on 64 bit targets"? In sounds off like the watched region is inside something else.
