Who initiates this? I have done it for Emacs. Is it the same process for GDB
i.e REQUEST: SEND FORM FOR PAST AND FUTURE CHANGES to fsf-records@gnu.org

 > - testcase

This is harder for me to do than the patch itself, so perhaps you can give me
a few clues.  Will two tests for each of mi2-var-child.exp and mi1-var-child.exp
using "-var-list-children struct_declarations 0" and "-var-list-children
struct_declarations 1" suffice ?

Already sent.

If Jim can give you equivalent changes in the near future then that might be
the most simple route. If not, I would like to progress my changes through
the system.
