If not, I plan on creating the branch next Monday (Nov 27th). I'd like to get the rest of the C++ breakpoint improvements series in. A good part of it is in, which already fixed many user-visible things, but the NEWS change hasn't yet: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00594.html The remaining part is the support for wild matching (ignore leading classes/namespaces) for C++, and support for breakpoints on symbols with ABI tags. Keith reviewed the whole series but I haven't gotten around to addressing his comments on that part of the series yes (since only recently that lookup_name_info patch got in). I'll try to do that ASAP. Thanks, Pedro Alves
