Re: [RFA] Testsuite addition for x86 linux GDB and SIGALRM fix

[Fernando Nasser <fnasser@cygnus.com>]

Just to clarify one thing: I did not post any RFC/RFA for a change in the GDB CLI command set.

A month or so ago I made a comment, when we were discussing some testsuite changes, about a _what if_ scenario where we would have a "finishi" command.  For the sake of intellectual exercise of a few interested parties, a few details of this _what if_ scenario were discussed. As it was just an exercise, the thing died up quickly.

Suddenly, someone found the old thread and made a comment (perhaps without re-reading the complete old thread?) and I don't know how the whole thing started to be refereed to as "proposed changes"!

Although I still believe that we should have two commands and that they should try and behave at the abstraction level they are defined to, I am not proposing any changes.  So, unless someone is really considering the possibility of adding a command or two, in which case I would gladly continue the discussion until we reach some conclusion, I suggest that we may just resume our regular activities.

Regards to all,
Fernando
