Right. 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.
