gdb-7.8 branching status (2014-06-04)


Hello,

Quick update on where we are on branching the gdb-7.8 branch:

  . break-interp.exp/corefile.exp GDB SEGV
    I think Markus sent a patch, and Pedro mostly approved it
    https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00148.html

  . PR 16253-induced performance regression
    So far, I only heard from Doug who thinks the best option
    at this point is to temporarily revert the offending patch.
    It would be nice to hear from Keith as well, JIC.

  . Build failure with Python 2.4
    (caused by "Add xmethod support to the Python API")
    https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00169.html
    Shouldn't be a problem for the release, since we build without
    -Werror by default, but should not be hard to fix, and would be
    better to have.

  . I just noticed a regression with gdbserver on LynxOS.
    The testing came back just in the nick of time to identify
    the source of the regression:
        commit 802e8e6d8465a0d05803a987ba1bb3237fb2fb70
        [GDBserver] Make Zx/zx packet handling idempotent.
    I will more into it right away.

  . I also noticed what looks like some failures with gdbserver
    on Windows, but I haven't had time to look into this.
    I am hoping it's the same issue was on LynxOS.

I will create a PR(s) as soon as I know more about the issues I detected.
