If you hit a breakpoint and any of the breakpoint actions continue the process, the program running LLDB still may want to know that the breakpoint was hit - after all, you might want to update the Breakpoint hit count in your UI somewhere or whatever, or otherwise indicate that the breakpoint DID get hit. So the breakpoint stop event will still be sent to inform you of this. But you also need to know that the target is no longer in a stopped state because of the continue, which is want GetRestartedFromEvent tells you. So any time you get a stopped event you should always check GetRestartedFromEvent before carrying on with whatever you were going to do. This is exactly the correct thing to do.
