I vote for deleting it; principle of least confusion. Don't go out of your way to make it harder for someone to do a real implementation later though. Actually it might be fine to just comment it out, with a note to the effect of "this functionality was never completely implemented" ... Personally, I prefer protocol-based approaches to "lib" implementations. I maintain the WRS/vxWorks commercial patches to GDB, and really need to clean them up so they can go back in; unfortunately I came down with a tenacious illness at the turn of the year, and since then I have been struggling just to keep up with release deadlines. -- Todd Whitesel toddpw @ wrs.com
