Hello everyone,
It's been a while since we last really talked about the release,
can we have a quick status on the various items we're waiting for?
Right now, we're about 3 weeks late.
- The big blockers for the release are (regressions) [Keith, Jan]:
c++/11734
c++/12273
It sounded like Keith and Jan are making progress, and getting
closer to a solution that doesn't introduces other regressions.
How far do we think we are?
For GDB 7.3, we have, in addition to the above:
- ifunc branch (might be close to being merge-ready) [Jan]
- exposing SystemTap static probe points [Sergio, Tom]
- tracepoint printf support [Hui] (awaiting review)
- <unavailable> values support (part 3) [Pedro]

It's been waiting for comments a while, now, so should be
ready to commit soon?
My understanding is that we don't really need to wait for the
ifunc and SystemTap stuff if it's going to delay the release.
Only a nice to have.
I don't think that Hui's tracepoint printf patch is a critical
patch either, but it's been waiting for review for a while, now,
and it'd be nice to at least review it before we branch. Anyone,
competent in this area, please?
So, all in all, I think we're just blocked by the C++ regressions.
As soon as they are resolved, we can start thinking about branching.
