Subject: STABS --> DWARF-2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.x (x >= 7)
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 15:32:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403311129.54987.ebotcazou@libertysurf.fr> (raw)

Hi,

In the light of the problems in the C compiler with the STABS debugging 
format, Mark has agreed to switch to DWARF-2 as the default debugging format 
on sparc-sun-solaris2.x (x >= 7) for GCC 3.4.0.

Both DBX 7 and GDB 5.3/6.0 seem to grok it without the need for a special 
command line switch and DWARF-2 has been the default for 64-bit code for a 
while so the move will probably cause very few problems.

Are there any specific difficulties to be expected on the GDB side?  Do 
changes need to be made for the upcoming GDB 6.1?
