Right now, we're about 3 weeks late. - The big blockers for the release are (regressions) [Keith, Jan]: c++/11734 c++/12273 It sounded like Keith and Jan are making progress, and getting closer to a solution that doesn't introduces other regressions. How far do we think we are? For GDB 7.3, we have, in addition to the above: - ifunc branch (might be close to being merge-ready) [Jan] - exposing SystemTap static probe points [Sergio, Tom] - tracepoint printf support [Hui] (awaiting review) - values support (part 3) [Pedro] http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-02/msg00581.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-02/msg00611.html It's been waiting for comments a while, now, so should be ready to commit soon? My understanding is that we don't really need to wait for the ifunc and SystemTap stuff if it's going to delay the release. Only a nice to have. I don't think that Hui's tracepoint printf patch is a critical patch either, but it's been waiting for review for a while, now, and it'd be nice to at least review it before we branch. Anyone, competent in this area, please? So, all in all, I think we're just blocked by the C++ regressions. As soon as they are resolved, we can start thinking about branching. -- Joel
