Re: Features vs infrastructure (was Re: Tracepoint support in CygnusGDB ?)

Heh, I've been trolled! :-)  I must say, I've been a little envious
watching GDB development over the past couple of years; Cygnus was never
able to afford so many cycles spent on internals. For multi-arch alone
it took over three years from initial proposal to the actual hacking...

Interesting view of history.

I just thumbed through the GDB website and sources, and gdb/TODO seemed
like it was mostly a list of desired infrastructure changes.  For instance,
I didn't see a mention of the desirability of tracepoint support for native
debugging, although that is an obvious item for a wishlist.  Perhaps the
todo list should be separated into "user-visible" and "infrastructure"
sections, with appropriate xrefs, so that everybody is aware of what's
desired.

GDB tracks new features using the bug database. I see one tracepoint change which is me pointing out that an architecture method is broken. Must remember to delete the TODO file.
