Re: ia64 patch to handle predicated insns in prologue


Patch checked in, thanks.  I forgot to ask: should all the ia64-tdep.c changes be
put into gdb-6.0?

The accompanying patch handles a bug in backtracing through glibc's sleep.
The compiler generates some predicated insns prior to saving the return register
b0 into a register stack register.  The current code stops when it sees a
predicated insn.  The change makes the prologue examination stop only if the
function is frameless or we have already seen the return register.

This removes a number of failures in gdb.threads caused when we catch another
thread in sleep and we try and backtrace.

Ok to commit?


Okay.

Thanks again,

Kevin
