Hello,
Time for another update. I think we're slowly getting there :).
The branch has been created, and we're just waiting for a couple
of issues to be resolved before we create the first pre-release.
The following issues are still open:
* record & btrace Python APIs revamp:
Almost there. If all goes well, the changes will be backported
to the branch on Wed. Thanks again to all those who worked together
to make it happen.
* server/21169 GDBServer on ARM can crash the inferior while single stepping
Partial (but good-enough for the release) has been posted
and reviewed. New patch series to be submitted. Do we have
a rough estimate of when we could expect the patch?
* build/21187 Static linking of libstdc++ and libgcc with GDB leads to broken exception handling on AIX platform
I am no longer expecting that we'll get that patch in.
Both David E and I tried to push for it, with no success.
I think we'll have to hope for a fix on the compilation
toolchain side.
In the "maybe" category if someone finds the time:
* PR gdb/21356 (value_contents_bits_eq internal_error in value.c)
Not strictly a regression, but an internal-error nonetheless,
and perhaps fairly easy to fix (missing check_typedef???)
I'll try to send an update soon-ish, depending on what's happening
with server/21169. In the meantime, please continue replying to
this message with updates. As mentioned in a previous post, this is
always very helpful.
Thanks,
