We specifically added it in response to bug reports from people making heavy use of the system math libraries; as well as from Cocoa (Objective-C) developers making heavy use of functions returning NSRect objects. The reason it's of interest to me in preparing the Objective-C patches is that much of the Objective-C GDB code makes use of being able to pass 'expected_type' arguments to the modified functions, and I'd rather not have to re-architect all those calls before submitting the patches.
So there are two reasons for the change? The infrastructure you need
for objective C and a user visible interface change. Can you expand a
little on the objective C problems. If objective C has good reason for
this infrastructure than I can't see why that part shouldn't go in.
enjoy,
Andrew
