GDB 8.2 release 2018-07-31 status update

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker at adacore dot com>]

Hello,

The 8.1.90 pre-release has been out for nearly 4 weeks, now.
Currently, these are the issues that have currently been marked
as blocking for 8.2 because they are regressions from 8.1:

  * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR gdb/23374
    gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp, with --target_board=native-gdbserver
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23374

        No problem with native debugging, or when using the native
        gdbserver in extended-remote mode.

  * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR gdb/23375
    gdb.base/jit-simple.exp, with --target_board=native-gdbserver
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23375

        Same as above, native debugging and extended-remote OK.

  * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR varobj/23378
    gdb.mi/mi-var-cmd.exp, with gdbserver
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23378

	GDB not reporting that a variable is now out of scope
        (when in native GDBserver mode).

  * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR python/23379
    gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp, with gdbserver
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23379

        Internal error running to a breakpoint, when in native gdbserver
        mode. Pure native mode is OK.

We also identified the following PR from a previous release, and
couldn't have it fixed by then, so we set its milestone to the next
release, which is 8.2:

  * [KevinB] PR gdb/23021
    Setting breakpoints with -freorder-blocks-and-partition
    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23021

        Any progress on this, Kevin?

Anything else that we think is blocking?

Thank you!
