Message-Id: <20040503155621.CF3194B104@berman.michael-chastain.com> Date: Mon, 03 May 2004 15:56:00 -0000 From: mec.gnu@mindspring.com (Michael Elizabeth Chastain) X-SW-Source: 2004-05/txt/msg00021.txt.bz2 I would like to phase out support for the Dwarf 1 debug format. I did some research and wrote the results as comments in dwarfread.c. I found reports from gdb users with three different compilers mentioned: gcc diab absoft All of these compilers now have released versions with dwarf-2 support. gcc 3.4.0 has no more dwarf-1 at all. My idea is to ask the steering committee to adopt a roadmap for phasing out Dwarf 1 support. What do you think? Michael C
