The specification string following a break command was parsed by means of ad-hoc string splitting and sub string finding. This scheme cannot deal with namespaces and class names that contain : (such as xhp classes). There is now a proper parser for break point specifications. Also, xhp class names are mangled before putting them in the BreakPointInfo structure, otherwise breakpoints qualified with xhp classes will not be hit. The syntax for namespaces has been changed to fit the language and if present namespaces are used to mangle function and class names, so that they match the names produced by the regular parser.
