Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 03:44:00 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-SW-Source: 2004-11/txt/msg00231.txt.bz2 Yes, It is because of a couple of issues. The environment required to build the gdb-pstack is non Linux standard (It would be required that we have to put this in our SW repository). In addition, it is not possible to easily modify the command interface (i.e. what's passed into GDB) in this environment. Using a standard script with standard GDB which comes with every Linux distro is a no brainer. It is my assumption that GDB will be updated to accomodate and incorporate new kernel/features as soon as possible. The GDB pstack would no necessarily enjoy this high profile support. To make gstack a part of our linux tooling makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: halo1@zahav.net.il [mailto:halo1@zahav.net.il]On Behalf Of Eli Zaretskii Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 3:38 PM To: Bloch, Jack Cc: ac131313@redhat.com; gdb@sources.redhat.com Subject: Re: new option --readnever & script gstack? > From: "Bloch, Jack" > Cc: gdb@sources.redhat.com > Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 08:32:01 -0800 > > The pstack GDB option is not the most useful.
