(2018-07-02 update) Message-ID: <20180702201833.GA1080@adacore.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.9.4 (2018-02-28) X-SW-Source: 2018-07/txt/msg00021.txt.bz2 Hi everyone, Fixed since the last update: * (JoelB) SEGV on x86_64-windows due to fs_base/gs_base Still in progress: * (PhilippeW) Implement 'frame apply COMMAND', enhance 'thread apply COMMAND' v3 sent on June 24th: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00559.html At this point, it looks to me like there are still some questions related to the new command-line interface itself, so it seems better to give our the time to think this through. Let's keep the pressure on, to get this patch series over the hump, but let's also give ourselves the opportunity to observe the patch in the master branch for a while before it makes it to a release. Not blocking for the branch, but requested as nice to have: * (AlanH) core file suport for aarch64 SVE https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-06/msg00580.html ping: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-07/msg00015.html The other two known issues are not blocking, IMO: * (KevinB) gdb/23021 - Setting breakpoints with -freorder-blocks-and-partition Not a regression, easy workaround. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23021 * (MaciejR) tdep/8282 - MIPS port needs `set disassembler-options' Enhancement. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8282 All in all, I think we should go ahead and create the branch Wednesday. We can still backport some patches if they are shown to have some benefit while being reasonably safe or having a limited impact. Thanks! -- Joel
