Message-ID: <20170417145318.44k2i66luus3ojfy@adacore.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.6.2-neo (2016-08-21) X-SW-Source: 2017-04/txt/msg00495.txt.bz2 Hello, I just created the gdb-8.0 branch from 725bf5cf125783c2a7ca4ab63d3768e220bab2db (Sat Apr 15 00:00:36 2017 +0000), and updated the version numbers on both that branch and master accordingly. Yay! I haven't created the first pre-release, however, as I think we are still waiting for the updates to the record & btrace Python APIs to be included. It's better, IMO, to avoid sending out a pre-release with an API that's going to change. Also, from what I've seen, I think we're getting quite close to that work getting in. In the meantime, the following issues are still open. * server/21169 GDBServer on ARM can crash the inferior while single stepping Partial (but good-enough for the release) has been posted. URL? Has there been an update since Apr 11th? * build/21187 Static linking of libstdc++ and libgcc with GDB leads to broken exception handling on AIX platform Same update as a week ago: It looks like it stalled on the GCC side. Parallel to that, it seems like some people are working on a real fix on the compiler side, so perhaps we might not need a GDB patch after all? Also, some people indicated that we have the same issue on Windows (MinGW) and Darwin, but I had no such problem when I tried. In the "maybe" category if someone finds the time: * PR gdb/21356 (value_contents_bits_eq internal_error in value.c) Not strictly a regression, but an internal-error nonetheless, and perhaps fairly easy to fix (missing check_typedef???) I'll try to send another update in a week or so. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reply to this message when some items get completed. It really helps me track the various issues. Thanks! -- Joel
