There's stuff on mine that I think is probably a good idea eventually but that isn't giving any concrete benefits right now. For example, I've moved the symbol storage parts of blocks into a separate structure on my branch, and I spent the last week rewriting decode_line_1 on my branch. Both of these might be good ideas eventually, but they're not directly improving GDB's C++ behavior yet, so I haven't merged them to Daniel's branch yet. Having said that, even the stuff I've merged into Daniel's branch isn't ready for the mainline yet: some of the data structures will definitely change. I move something over to his branch if it handles a case that GDB can't handle currently, and does it in a reasonably coherent fashion, but C++'s rules are complicated enough that it'll take a while for the data structures to settle down.
