Knowing what's broken is a good starting point. That part is already committed. The libiberty test suite has 64 new tests. The current demangler fails 31 of the new tests. I saw this in my test bed and wrote it up. Check out the "Libiberty Testing" section near the top of: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-testers/2003-q3/msg00003.html To me, the issue of what languages are acceptable for implementing the demangler is separate from the issue of how the new demangler behaves versus the old demangler. I can say something about the second issue. I see that the new demangler does perfectly on all the new tests in libiberty, and I'm running gdb tests now. I'll have more info to report in a couple of hours. Michael C
