Quick status update again, based on the latest feedback: > > PR19506 Regression with gdb.Breakpoint("*") > > This lead to a wider fix: > [PATCH V2 0/4] Add support for "legacy" linespecs > https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00024.html I took a look over the weekend, and it seems fairly unintrusive. I propose we push it now. Otherwise, I think it's safe to create the branch before pushing this patch, and backport afterwards. > PR 19548 - breakpoint re-set inserts breakpoints when it shouldn't > Pedro sent a patch: > https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00014.html Time to push? > There is also a crash (regression): > > PR 19546 - gdb crash calling exec in the inferior > Initial guestimate from Pedro: > | Looks like a regression of the explicit locations work. > Still in Pedro's court, or could Keith help?

In terms of status: - C++ build detected a build regression: Fixed, AFAIK. - Some regressions in Ada due to a testsuite patch Worse case scenario, we could revert on the branch, if a simple fix is not available (I am confident, though). I can't see from the URLs provided what the error looks like, but it should only affect in-tree build & testing? So, to summarize, given how easy it can be to break C++ building, and looking at the issues we want to solve, I can propose the following plan: 1. Branch now, hold the pre-release; 2. Fix the issues above still pending on both master + branch; 3. Once the issues above are fixed on the branch, issue the first pre-release. What do you guys think? Thanks! -- Joel
