Subject: compatibility between gdb and stub
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 06:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021118140945.GF1252@torino.act-europe.fr> (raw)

Hi folks,

I would like to know what is the policy regarding the compatibility
between gdb and the target stubs: as far as I understand, the way `g'
and 'G' commands work requires that the debugger and the stub have the
very same definition of the target's registers.

The file rs6000-tdep.c however, which was very similar in gdb 5.1 and
gdb 5.2, changed in the 5.3 branch, causing interoperability disruption
with older stubs, due to the definition of fpscr.

Is this correct ? Is there a policy for handling that kind of issues ?
