It's good to hear that someone is working on this ... I was thinking I
might
need to volunteer.
If you want help with testing (or with writing testcases), please let
me know,
I don't know anything about gdb internals, but can probably pick up
enough to
be of some use.
I guess I haven't paid enough attention - when is the next release, and
can
ObjC support be in place in time?
