From: Brian LaPonsey To: gdb@sources.redhat.com Content-Type: text/plain Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2004 14:05:00 -0000 Message-Id: <1101996241.4678.13.camel@blapo.sps.mot.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2004-12/txt/msg00011.txt.bz2 Hello, I (belatedly) noticed an announcement on the GDB web page that the mcore target has been declared obsolete and is going to be deleted from gdb in the next release. I have made some inquiries about the impact this would have on our customers, and although the response wasn't huge, it was definitely not zero. There's a small but determined population of developers who continue to use gdb with mcore. It also has a small but growing market with small firms working through distributors, as well as a new design group in China that prefers to use non-Microsoft tools. I don't know if one vote matters, but I vote to save the mcore. Thanks, Brian
