Daniel is the C++ maintainer for gdb. The problem is that some of the changes required to fix C++ handling touch on other code like the symbol table parts of gdb. I won't go into great details about why there were problems with patch acceptance but suffice it to say that not all of the problems were due to the fact that GDB patch approval is (arguably) slow. So, before anyone draws conclusions on the GDB patch approval process, please read the gdb and gdb-patches mailing list archives. >That's great.

If you all have complaints about gdb, it makes sense to talk about them there. cgf
