Like Eli, I tried it, and it worked for me as well. > In addition to those PRs, It'd be great to get some of the DWARF piece > handling fixes in GDB 8.0, particularly the fix for gdb/21226.

Maybe the Global Maintainer reviewing the changes will approve the changes for a backport, but it looks a bit on the large side. Since it's before a .0, perhaps it'll be considered safe enough for it. > Also, I wonder who can look at exp/21162 ("GDB internal error with > unbounded array typecast expression").

The author, > Sanimir Agovic, doesn't seem to be active in GDB development any more? > The patch was reviewed by Joel Brobecker, though... ;-) I wish I could tell you that I would look into this, but my schedule for the next few weeks is completely packed... > And last week a GDB internal error in value.c was reported as gdb/21356. > I haven't checked whether that is a regression or not. I reproduced the issue with 7.10, so not a regression. I'd guess that this is a missing check_typedef somewhere, so might be fairly simple to fix. I've added this item to the "maybe" list for 8.0 in the release's wiki page (https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_8.0_Release). -- Joel
