Utrace (Chris <moller>)
-ptrace on utrace behavior appears to be different than original utrace
-If a kill fails then the next ptrace operation is ignored (#203385?)
-Thread/Process status when a process clones and then later kills the
clone (#?)
-Action: Get the C version of the test for 203385 written and
committed
Backtrace (Mike <mcvet>)
-Most of Alex's patches committed
-Source display for previous stack frames works
-Action: Investigate the lost frames in backtraces (+cagney)
Fstack (Nurdin <npremji>)
-What is the correct way to handle stack backtracing?
Perhaps use the cascading observer model which simplifies iterating
through stack frames.
-Action: Work out multi-threaded fstack (+pmuldoon)
-Action: Investigate the gdb pstack bug (+cagney)
64 bit (Tim <timoore>)
-32 on 64 bit is mostly done
-Adding automatic build 32 on 64 testing
-IBM supplied some of the 32 on 64 testing framework infrastructure
-ppc executables default to 32 bit to save cache space due to the large
register set.
-Resolved modulo status of the testsuite
Breakpoint (Mark <mjw>)
-Three steps needed for high level single threaded breakpoints:
1. single instruction stepping
2. address information for file/line
3. stack frame information
-Multithreading breakpoint support more difficult (Cagney)
-Action: Con call high-level breakpoints (+mjw, +cagney as needed)
Disassemble (Mike <mcvet>)
-Single threaded case mostly done
-Need to define semantics for multiple threaded case, which currently
blocks the main thread
-Mostly resolved. This topic can probably transition to handling multi
threaded displays
Testing & Dogtail (Phil <pmuldoon>)
-Demo by Len
-Is current state okay for the testing framework?
-Memory smashing bug has proved elusive.
-Seems related to cleanup in java gnome
-Tom Tromey's suggestion for two different objects to handle
enter/exit may simplify handling complicated cases)
-Status needed on dogtail, memory smashing bug, Tom's suggestion
-Action: Is dogtail okay for the testing framework (+ldimaggio)
-Action: Beat the Java-GNOME memory smash to death (+cagney)
Source (Stan <stan>, Rick <rmoseley>)
-Simple variables for current frame now handled.
-Looking at prior frames support with libunwind.
-Looking at gui integration
-Action: Con call on variables in source window
Coverage (Stan, Andrew)
-Investigate infrastructure changes needed to support gcov
Misc
-Investigate vte bug which causes intermittent console window problem
(Andrew?)
-Come up with workflows for terminal window (Phil?)
-Chris problems with demise of cipe
-Action: Get closure on the console (cagney)
-Action: cipe/vpn solution (moller, cagney)
