These three operators were=20 introduced for chill language, but when chill language was removed from GDB= by=20 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= =20 operators may be used by other languages in the future. However, after abo= ut=20 10 years, there is still no language using these operators, so it may be th= e=20 time to remove them now. Before I start to remove them from source code, I= 'd=20 like to hear what do you think on this? --=20 Yao (=E9=BD=90=E5=B0=A7)
