While I do not disagree either from a pragmatic (ability to test) and a philosophical point of view, if somebody who cares speaks up with the required info I think we should try to continue to support the HP compilers. Of course if we cannot get to the required information we shouldn't hold up progress in supporting gcc. > It looks like we need some > GCC_DEVELOPERS_DONT_THINK_BEFORE_THEY_CODE_MAP_REG_TO_REGNUM mapping. > (sorry Dave) Sigh.... > > Well, let's call it dwarf2_frame_reg_to_regnum(). I'll submit a patch to gdb-patches to implement this for hppa64 shortly. randolph
