Actually, the patches *do* touch mostly independent areas of GDB, and I'd expect different maintainers to want to review only some of them. I've spent some effort to try to separate out functional changes, in the hope of making review simpler ... As to *testing*, I agree that having to apply 37 patches in sequence is a pain, which is why I sent -in addition to the broken-out series- a single cumulative patch as well. In the end, this is simply a large set of changes (the cumulative patch is 8000 lines, the broken-out patches total 10000 lines) spread out across many parts of GDB (the patch set touches 97 files) -- if you have suggestions how to present a change like this in a way that's easier to review, those would certainly be welcome.
