I sent you some comments on this patch in April. Here's another one that may be useful: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-05/msg00590.html This patch fixed the bug I originally wanted this test case to test for, and a couple of related bugs. If you don't have time, let me know, and I'll try to update the test myself. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
