But since we are looking at version 7 of the patches series, let's hope that we can converge quickly on that one.

This one is, erm, "interesting". I commented on the PR directly. The short version is that I seem to be seeing the bug as being elsewhere, so I asked for clarification. Regardless, at the moment, this seems like this could be categorized as a relatively minor bug. Still, worth keeping in our radar, since exec-file-mismatch is new in GDB 10. > > NB: I also have an RFC Improve handling of breakpoints with multiple locations. > > https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168921.html > > but no feedback received yet, so better for GDB 11. I don't forsee any problems with the changes you propose. On the other hand, I tend to agree with the general principle that it's safer to make changes affecting existing output earlier in the release cycle. -- Joel
