GDB/MI patches

GDB/MI patches

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Hi all!

As nobody replied to my previous email about the current work on
gdb/mi, I'm going to try to implement some of the symbol functions.

Anything I should remember or take notice of before I start coding
except for the GNU coding style?

Btw, what's the thing with giving copyright to the FSF?

Yes, people are still working on MI. There have been several patches recently.
The patches weren't so much MI specific, but more infrastructure related.

Yes, you need a documentation patch and a testcase for each new
feature you add to MI.

You need to fill out a copyright assignment to give the copyright to
the FSF.  If you are willing to do so, Jim Blandy can send you a copy
of the form.  Unfortunately we are not in a position to accept patches
w/o the copyright assignment in place. (There may be exceptions to the
rule for very small and/or mechanical changes).
