GDB 18.1 release update -- 2026-09-01

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

Hi everyone,

Quick update on the 18.1 release.  Release is still currently scheduled
for:

    Fri Sep 11 2026

Here is a quick recap of the changes since the last update:

Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------

 * gdb/34195 - Windows tests report "No unwaited-for children left."
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34195

   A patch for this issue has been merged as commit 524f668fa5aede1a on
   gdb-18-branch.

Still Open Since Previous Update:
---------------------------------

 * dap/34548 - gdb.dap/pause.exp hangs on Solaris
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34548

   A V2 patch was posted here:

   https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/ydd4iged3z5.fsf_-_@CeBiTec.Uni-Bielefeld.DE

 * gdb/33447 - Can't find class methods on clang compiled libraries
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33447

   A V3 patch was posted for this here:

   https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/897f5eb957bdfd90cd3fd5efa662021ed5c2aef2.1788269262.git.aburgess@redhat.com

Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------

 * gdb/34561 - Problem reading OS generated corefiles on systems with Intel AMX support
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34561

   This might be fixed by the patches here:

   https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20250911072711.1211004-1-vigbalas@amd.com/

   But there's also discussion of a simpler fix, which might be better
   for the GDB 18 release only:

   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34561#c2

   I'm a little unclear what the plan is for this issue right now.
   

Thanks,
Andrew
