Do you have a time frame for when GDB will be required to use C++ to compile? Looking at https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/cxx-conversion, I see that you will require C++ 98 or 03. Will you enforce that when compiling? I ask because I work on CGDB, a GDB front end, and it's written in C so that it can be compiled anywhere that GDB can. I'd like to transition CGDB to C++ but only want to do so after GDB is and using the same C++ standard features. Thanks, Bob Rossi
