Dwarf2 Frame Info

Dwarf2 Frame Info

[Fabrice Gautier]

Hi,

Can somebody tell's me what's the status of Dwarf2 frame info (aka CFA) in
gdb?

By looking at the archive i've seen that people where talking about that in
May, ( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-05/msg00091.html ) 

What's the status now?  The latest snaphost i;ve downloaded anbd compiled
doesn't seems to handle the Dwarf2 frames generated by gcc.

Thanks

I submitted something that could read it a while ago.
Jiri Schmid took it, and added the other 70% of the work necessary to
execute it, as it's required for x86-64 frame unwind.
He submitted the patch yesterday, if you look at the gdb-patches
archive.
