I submitted a big patch for adding Pascal Language support in GDB
already 1999/10/22.
I'm afraid that I don't remember much about the patch; nor do I have a
copy of it stashed away.
Small patches are better than big patches.
The larger the patch the longer it takes to read and evaluate -- and
it is definitely non linear. Up to a point it seems to be roughly
quadratic -- double the size of the patch and it takes maybe four
times longer to understand it.
Please resubmit the patch (against a recent snapshot) and we'll try to
do better this time around.
