Subject: GDB 8.1.1 release -- 2018-07-26 update
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 16:12:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180726161252.GB2404@adacore.com> (raw)

Hello,

I think we can make the 8.1.1 release pretty soon. We have two options.
Either:

  (a) Include a simplified version of PR symtab/23010, and then release;

      For the record, this is:
      [KeithS] PR symtab/23010 (Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym) ==[...]

  (b) Release as is.

PR symtab/23010 is now fixed in the gdb-8.2-branch, and I think 8.2
is not too far off. So I don't think we really need to do (a),
particularly since the issue is not very common; we can just keep
PR symtab/23010 as a documentation that the problem affects 8.1.1.

There is a third alternative:

  (c) Actually not release at all!

      The number of fixes on that branch was very small, and now
      8.2 is getting very close; so I'm not sure how many people
      would stay on 8.1.1 rather than 8.2.

Given that this is just a couple of hours of my time, unless we're
sure it would be useless, I propose we still go ahead with the 8.1.1
release.

Thoughts? For now, I'm thinking of going with (b)...

Thanks!
