You might want to take a look at the gnu.org web site, which describes this (and many other) aspect of the GNU project. Remeber, GDB is the _GNU_ Debugger - part of a larger whole. The GNU project's views disagree with you on the above. Further discussion on this topic, however, seems to me to be off topic for a GDB development list - especially gdb-patches. Take it to a general GNU forum. -- Daniel Jacobowitz
