gdb and Sun ONE Studio 8

[Konstantine 'KCC' Serebriany]

Hello all. 
Does any one know whether gdb should work with 
the latest Sun C and C++ compiler (Sone ONE Studio 8) ?

I tried gdb 5.3 on sparc solaris 8 with the Sun compiler
but it didn't work properly (didn't break at some lines, didn't 
show struct members, etc). 

Thanks in advance.

FYI, work to rewrite GDB's sparc support has just started - it was long 
overdue for an overhaul.  See the branch: 
kettenis_sparc-20030918-branch.  If you're interested in contributing 
code, contact me.  However, I suspect, even someone running tests would 
help.

I tried checking this out, but got the following error:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co -r 
kettenis_sparc-20030918-branch
cvs [checkout aborted]: must specify at least one module or directory

I checked out the modules, but didn't see anything there. Could you 
please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

	Andy

You'll want the module "gdb+dejagnu" vis:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co -r 
kettenis_sparc-20030918-branch gdb+dejagnu
