This is very exciting! I've made a couple tries at getting this going, but never managed to get the code disentangled enough to be useful. Rewriting sounds like it was the right way to cut the knot. :-)

Thanks.


What kind of pass/fail numbers are you seeing for the testsuite right now? (There's no threshold for submittability, but it tells us what to expect.)

I haven't tried the GDB testsuite yet. On our testsuite the results are rather good (less than 5% of
failures) but:
* as there is no support for shared libraries GDB can't call malloc()
* dSYM files should work well but they are not automatically generated
* reading dwarf from .o mostly works provided -fno-common is used...


Tristan.
