I think that, for Windows XP, the repetition of this conversation any time someone wants to use something that doesn't work on XP is reason enough to remove it. It's a proprietary OS even its vendor abandoned 11 years ago. The milliwatts spent composing this email are enough to justify ignoring it further. The remaining users are likely computers not used interactively, and near-certainly not ones used for development, ergo a debugger is redundant. Frankly, a Windows XP machine that has enough networking hardware to download the next release of GDB is likely a massive liability in the first place. Hopefully none are still connected to the internet. =2D-=20 Arsen Arsenovi=C4=87 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQECBAEWCgCqFiEE/uKz0RP8AKMWLWBhUsKUMB6ixJMFAmkUy9UbFIAAAAAABAAO bWFudTIsMi41KzEuMTEsMiwyXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25z Lm9wZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRGRUUyQjNEMTEzRkMwMEEzMTYyRDYw NjE1MkMyOTQzMDFFQTJDNDkzEBxhcnNlbkBhYXJzZW4ubWUACgkQUsKUMB6ixJMN +QEAnBmS49J/Z24kBSffSKRBrQfArGfWJ6Jjw7stwUTuwmsBALRYO3IpL8JBEye0 Aa96N0v/ftxCQmisq/qBVpbFkAIB =/S+f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
