RE: Supported C++ compilers

Hi!

If by old Sun Forte ABI you mean Sun Workshop 5 C++ or Forte 6 C++ (which
are really Sun C++ 5.0 and 5.3) I can say that it is NOT SUPPORTED and I got
a pretty nasty response from the group when I asked if it is supported (OK,
so I had read the Sun PR which said that the Sun ABI was "compliant" and I
asked if GDB will interoperate with a "compliant" ABI and that got some
feathers ruffled :-).  But I would REALLY appreciate it if you can verify
this is true and I can use GDB instead of the HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY broken dbx
that Sun ships with C++ 5.0 and 5.3 (I cannot switch to GDB yet because my
3rd party libraries are only certified against Sun C++ which does not debug
with GDB).

Thanks!

I believe GDB is supposed to support the old Sun Forte ABI.
