From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew Cagney To: Daniel Berlin Cc: GDB Discussion Subject: Re: 5.1 NEWS Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 19:43:00 -0000 Message-id: <3B491A68.8010801@cygnus.com> References: <3B474597.1020708@cygnus.com> <87u20owqvw.fsf@cgsoftware.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-07/msg00071.html Hmm, how can I put this. GDB's Pascal support is new, people will have reasonable expectations and a keenness to help fix it. GDB's C++ support, on the other hand, is old. Unless told otherwize, people are going to assume that it all works perfectly, even for the new v3 C++ ABI. In using the word ``limited'', I'm trying to set expecations. If you think there is a better turn of phrase then please put it forward.
