I'm having quite an interrupted day, but I'm trying to clean up the hacky patch a bit. Even if GDB ends up showing a couple errors after disconnecting, like: You can't do that when your target is `exec' No registers. (gdb) I think it's way better than getting stuck. It's an escape hatch for emergencies -- some bruising expected. :-) We can always clean that up after the release, IMO. I think those sort of errors can happen if the connection drops unexpectedly at the wrong time, even without the patch, for instance. > > There was also a proposal to revert the default sysroot value back > to "", with some added logic to make the "target:" implicit in some > situations; but, as far as I know, this has been abandoned (and > looking back, I would agree). > I agree too, especially given we've fixed the major slowness culprit. > So, what do we still need to do before we can release? > > - Finish the work on being able to interrupt the file transfer? > > - There were some discussions about displaying a warning, > and I don't see anything in the current sources; are we still > thinking about that? Yes, I think so. Also Gary's QUIT patch should probably go in as well, I think. Thanks, Pedro Alves
