Hi Sergio, > Thank you for this patch. I believe you could add a comment explaining what > this number means (just like you did above). What do you think? > Just my two cents, as usual :-). I just applied the following patch (head only) 2009-10-19 Joel Brobecker * amd64fbsd-nat.c (amd64fbsd_supply_pcb): Add comment. Writing the comment made me think that we may have chosen the wrong version number, depending on the angle we look at things from: If we want to always be able to build, then we should have chosen version 74, since there are a few days where version 74 is missing the field and yet the GDB code still tries to access it for that versio number. However, if we're trying to have our code always use these fields whenver possible, then 75 is the right choice. Although we'll fail to build for any sources that's in between the moment the fields were removed and the moment the version was bumped to 75 (a time period of about a few days), we'll be able use these fields for the rest of version 74 of the sources. Based on the number of days this window is open, I would say that this situation is highly unlikely, and so we don't really need to worry about it. -- Joel
