Just FYI, enabling the code for the default build is one of the last things to happen, not one of the first. - gdb's language code isn't modula There isn't a clean way of dropping in new languages (like many things, a developer got half way through the process, and then stopped. It has then remained in that state for ~10 years. A --with-languages=... isn't there. - this specific code came from [very old] a fork. As such it needs sigificant work before it gets integrated into GDB. Adam has been doing a briliant job. What's in GDB is noticably different to what was in Apple's fork. Andrew
