I'm hacking on GDB both for fun, and also as part of my job. More than half of the total effort I spent on Python scripting support in GDB has been on my spare time (I'm grateful though that IBM let me do this also on my office hours (not all of it though, I have other tasks to do too), it sure helps a lot). It's just that all of my posts to the GDB mailing lists are from my IBM e-mail address. I also do have fun when hacking GDB on my work time. :-) > and a mentality to fix bugs by > slapping more code into GDB instead of taking some time and exploring > alternative solutions. I'm honestly interested in knowing if my fixes feel like "code slapping" instead of elegant solutions, and willing to change my approach if it doesn't imply an herculean effort to change half the toolchain plus several standards to implement it. > Perhaps the time has come for me to simply give up.
