I think Phil is planning to resubmit his Python breakpoint changes this week. Jan said on irc that the ifunc branch might be close to merge-ready. This is important because, without it, `strcmp' is not usable (on systems with a glibc that uses ifunc) in a breakpoint condition -- pretty basic stuff. Sergio and I have been working on exposing SystemTap static probe points to gdb. We are reasonably close to finishing this; the basic functionality is fine, and this week Sergio is working on the probe arguments while I work on tests. So, assuming others are amenable to this idea, we would like this to be in 7.3. I am not sure whether all the details will be acceptable in the right timeframe; I could post the "bad" parts if people want to take a look now. For 7.2.1, I think Jan and Keith have been discussing the C++ regressions. I'm not sure what they have decided, I'm a little behind on that again. Tom
