Hello,
Ref: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3459
I conducted a small survey last night (~16 participants) to see where a
bunch of hackers thought the "top" and "bottom" of a stack:
-> 12 responded with top was youngest
-> 4 had no opinion
My follow on question, which direction "up" and "down" should go, got
side tracked into various diatribes on how one debugger was so wrong
:-) (i.e., "up" should go to the "top" but doesn't)
So I guess usability comes before strict compatibility :-)
Any further thoughts?
Andrew
