Re: [PATCH] TLS access support in cross- Linux GDB


Thank you for your comments!

We are aware of dependency and maintenance problems that this patch causes.

The reason we took this approach is problem with debugging programs with different glibc versions. We thought that handling this issue with different versions of glibc was more appropriate to do in gdb, since gdb should handle programs with different versions of glibc and libthread_db has been designed to work with the one version.

Implementing this support as new cross-functionality in glibc/libthread_db was our plan B and we will implement this approach also. We just wanted to start discussion about this with community and get some feedback.

Thanks,

Djordje Todorović
