Re: [PATCH] Objective-C language support.

ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/contrib/gdb-objc-patch.tar.gz

There's a good chance that I wrote some of this code
anyway, so I'll try to have a look at it. You know, of course, that we can't just drop something this huge
into the source tree without some review...

Well I though it would just be reject outright, so I guess I'm doing relatively good :-)

I'll need the ability to run the tests.  Does GCC already
have enough objc to compile them?  Will I need any special
libraries?
It's been tested with gcc 2.95 and 3.X. It should work with any gcc out of the box. Only libobjc which comes with gcc.

I looked at the ChangeLog that came with the patch, but most changes didn't have anything to do with the patches I submitted, or it was hard for me to match an entry with an actual change in the code. I could try to look at CVS logs, but that could be tedious and Jason Molenda has said that most of those are null.
