Cool, thanks.

A couple more nits inline.
[apologies. gdb's coding standards are that pedantic,
which in some sense is a good thing - the consistency
tends to make adhering to them easier to achieve]

btw, do you have a copyright assignment on file?
This change feels small enough to me to not need one,
but it's not clear.

1) Don't include the diff to the ChangeLog, cut-n-paste the text as is
to the top of the patch in the email submission.

2) Don't preface file names with gdb/ in the ChangeLog.

If the patch involves changes to files in other directories
for which gdb's ChangeLog file is the correct one to use,
*then* include the directory.  E.g., common/queue.h.

If the patch involves changes to files in other directories
that have their own ChangeLog file, then write the
ChangeLog entry in the email as, e.g.,

        testsuite/
        * lib/gdb.exp (foo): mumble.

But remove the line with "testsuite/" when committing the change.

3) Don't repeat the file name within one ChangeLog entry.

[well, for some particularly complex entries it could
be useful, but not in general]

4) You don't need to explain the change in the changelog
entry, just state what was changed.

5) Blank line after the date/name line.

6) Use the tab character to indent each line.

7) Space after the file name.

Combining all of that yields:
[assuming cut-n-paste preserved the tabs]

2013-01-20  lin Zuojian  <manjian2006@gmail.com>

        * dwarf2read.c (struct die_info): New member in_process.
        (reset_die_in_process): New function.
        (process_die): Set it at the start, reset when returning.

Most of these rules should be self-evident from
reading existing entries, but I can understand
there still being some indecision as to "what's right".

It would be consistent with the rest of the definition of
this struct to have a blank line here
(though I realize it's a bit of a toss up).

Blank line between the comment describing the function
and its definition.

Space before (.

No space after *.

I'm ambivalent on keeping the comment.
I could see deleting it, but if you want
to keep it it's fine with me.

English wasn't my best subject in school, but this reads
better to me:

  /* Only process those not already in process.  */

I realize it's a pain to fix all these nits even before the actual
core of the patch has been accepted.

It's fine with me, but I would wait a bit to see if
others have any comments.
