gdb-7.1 release preparation...

gdb-7.1 release preparation...

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello everyone,

I would like to release gdb-7.1 in a week from now, say Tues or Wed.
That would put us roughly about a month after the branch was cut and
the pre-release got out.

Anything that we are still missing before we can release?

The only issue that might be blocking that I know of, is an issue
reported by Doug:

    Subject: memory alloc bug (release blocker?)
    http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2010-02/msg00180.html

We still need to decide whether we want to address it before
the release or not.

Anything else that you think should be blocking for the release,
please let me know.

Thank you,
-- 
Joel

Sorry, too late for that, it has already been fixed.  :-)

See "[for discussion] Update inferior address spaces" at gdb-patches@
last week.

 I recently found out a nasty bug in the pascal
expression support:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00314.html

The patch is really tiny
(the follow up messages are related to 
formatting issues mainly).

May I still commit this fix to the branch
before release or is it too late?

Sure, please go ahead and commit on the branch. Actually, I should
have suggested it too, I wasn't paying enough attention.

I noticed that in that thread you were looking for GNU-style indentation in vim. I don't remember where I found the following (googling suggests http://thisblog.runsfreesoftware.com/?q=node/432), but it works fine for me. Just add it to your .vimrc and GNU-style indentation will be enabled by default when editing C and C++ files. 

function! GnuIndent() 
  setlocal cinoptions=>4,n-2,{2,^-2,:2,=2,g0,h2,p5,t0,+2,(0,u0,w1,m1 
  setlocal shiftwidth=2 
  setlocal tabstop=8 
endfunction

au FileType c,cpp call GnuIndent() 

To re-indent existing code in vim, go to the first line of the code, press V, move to the last line and then press =

I had to modify this function:

function! GNUIndent()                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
        setlocal cinoptions=>4,n-2,{2,^-2,:2,=2,g0,h2,p5,t0,+2,(0,u0,w1,m1

There is now on gdb_7_1-branch a regression-against-7.0 due to the PIE
patchset as bugreported by Daniel Jacobowitz:
	./gdbserver/gdbserver :2222 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ./gdb -nx;stty sane
+
	./gdb -nx -ex 'target remote localhost:2222' -ex 'b main' -ex c ./gdb
	CTRL-C
	bt
It has been fixed on master by:
	Re: RFC: Verify AT_ENTRY before using it

Daniel Jacobowitz has reported also another regression due to PIE this time
for remote embedded target.  Fixed on master by:

OK to check-in also for gdb_7_1-branch?


Thanks,

Thanks for pointing them out - I was starting to wonder what we did
differently this time to have so little feedback (aka regressions ;-).

> OK to check-in also for gdb_7_1-branch?

Would you mind asking the reviewer who approved your patch to confirm
that it's OK to apply to the branch? I'm about to fly back home, and
it's a 36h trip and 12h time difference - I don't think I'll re-emerge
before Monday morning...

Cheers,

I'm not sure which order the various discussions of this came
in... but I think the patches are OK for the branch.
