This is a bit longer than the time we typically take to get the first release out, but considering we're in the middle of the summer with lots of us taking holidays (including myself), this is a bit to be expected... As you will see from below, there is potentially still a fair amount of work to do :-/. Here is the currently list of PRs we identified as blocking for 8.2: * [KevinB] PR gdb/23021 Setting breakpoints with -freorder-blocks-and-partition https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23021 Identified as needed in the previous release, but couldn't do it in time. We should be very close, now: [v3] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-08/msg00467.html I'm wondering how reasonable it's going to be to backport those changes onto the branch, though... Any thoughts on that? Kevin? Simon? * [KevinB] PR symtab/23010 Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym) == DICT_LANGUAGE (dict)->la_language https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23010 This regression was seemingly fixed, and then makes a come back. I suggested we double-check this is indeed still a regression. * [StanC] PR varobj/23378 gdb.mi/mi-var-cmd.exp, with gdbserver https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23378 GDB not reporting that a variable is now out of scope (when in native GDBserver mode). The following PRs are currently unassigned; Pedro's name was tentatively put down, but only because he had the misfortune of being the reporter. If possible, we should try to help Pedro finding the commit that caused the regression -- I will take care of bisecting 23374 (a big Thank You to Sergio DJ for helping with 23378). * [*UNASSIGNED* (Joel???)] PR gdb/23374 gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp, with --target_board=native-gdbserver https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23374 No problem with native debugging, or when using the native gdbserver in extended-remote mode. * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR gdb/23375 gdb.base/jit-simple.exp, with --target_board=native-gdbserver https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23375 Same as above, native debugging and extended-remote OK. * [*UNASSIGNED* (Pedro???)] PR python/23379 gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp, with gdbserver https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23379 Internal error running to a breakpoint, when in native gdbserver mode. Pure native mode is OK. Thanks! -- Joel
