Subject: Remove OP_LABELED TERNOP_SLICE_COUNT and OP_BITSTRING?
Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2012 07:33:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1676553.sdpRML5ybE@qiyao.dyndns.org> (raw)

Hello,

I happen to find these three operators (OP_LABELED TERNOP_SLICE_COUNT and 
OP_BITSTRING) are no longer used in GDB.  These three operators were 
introduced for chill language, but when chill language was removed from GDB by 
Andrew in this patch,

  [commit] Zap obsolete code segments
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2003-01/msg00006.html

these operators were not removed.  I think one consideration is that these 
operators may be used by other languages in the future.  However, after about 
10 years, there is still no language using these operators, so it may be the 
time to remove them now.  Before I start to remove them from source code, I'd 
like to hear what do you think on this?
