GDB BoF at the 2009 GCC Summit

GDB BoF at the 2009 GCC Summit

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello everyone,

We hosted a GDB BoF at this year's GCC Summit, and the format we elected
to use was a Q&A session, much like the Q&A session that we had for GCC.
A few question were asked. I took a few notes, and just finished putting
them on the Wiki:

    http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/2009_GCC_Summit_BoF

(I also added a link from the main page of the Wiki).

The couple of items that attracted my attention:
  - Are we going to move GDB to C++;
  - Status of the "inline" patch;
  - Debugging optimized code.

We also received a few suggestions...

Nice! We should also encourage people to open wishlist bugzillas for feature 
requests. And we should encourage ourselves to actually read those bugzillas. 
:-)

Did I mention already that I envy you folks who are at the summit?
Please don't forget to take at least one picture with the GDB gang!

I really encourage everyone to come next year. It's really nice to be
able to have face to face contact, and you can even corner one of the
maintainers into discussing an issue that's close to your heart ;-).

Note that, this year, we were also treated to 3 GDB presentations
on top of the GDB BoF. So it was an interesting summit for GDB hackers
too!
