So pardon me for asking, but I m curious as to why there is no gdb support for debugging v8plus applications (i.e 64 bit registers in a 32 bit environment). Is it because this isnt important to users ?. Or is there some other technical reason ?. In other words will a patch for this support be accepted into gdb ?. Thanks tunji
