Re: gdb for Sun compiled target programs



It should be usable for 32-bit. 64-bit has a problem. The Sun C
compiler generates stabs debugging info by default. GDB doesn't
handle 64-bit stabs correctly. Fixing that is non-trivial.

I'm surprised. I have a 64-bit gdb that seems to work with Sun C 5.4. It only has a couple of minor patches. I will send them one after the other. I have been debugging my 64-bit gdb with itself.


Does it make sense that I send my changes to gdb-patches?

Sure.  If it's a substantial contribution you'd need to assign
copyright to the FSF.

Just done.
