There are a few host-specific files that may be missing the occasional cast, but for all I know, most of the codebase has been converted and builds cleanly, with no undefined behavior and no hacks. It's time to try building GDB with a C++ compiler by default, which is what the the following trivial patch does. Following the discussion on the gdb@ list, this flips the default on all hosts, unconditionally. Note that it's still possible to revert back to building with a C compiler, by configuring with --enable-build-with-cxx=no. For the moment, we have a Fedora buildslave specifically set up to catch C-mode build failures on Fedora, so C-mode breakage should still be noticed and fixed promptly. The decision of when to drop C-mode support will be done at some other moment, possibly only after the next release.
