6.12.2 Step into

Choosing Thread > Step Into in a debugger "steps into" the next function call that occurs in that debugger's thread, and then returns control to the debugger before the function begins to execute. This command is not sensitive to the debugger's selected call frame.

Typically, this command causes a new frame to appear at the top of the stack.

Thread > Step Into does an implied Thread > Step Over (and hence an implied Thread > Step Out), so that if you when choose Thread > Step Into and there is nothing to step into, it acts like a Thread > Step Over (or a Thread > Step Out once you leave the function). See Section 6.12.1 for details of Thread > Step Over and Section 6.12.3 for details of Thread > Step Out.
