Re: PATCH: Introduce gdb_gettimeofday

I'm not thrilled.  gettimeofday(2) is POSIX, so any decent operating

make GDB run on Windows in some other way?

Yes. I have patches to make GDB run on Windows without Cygwin, for use as a cross-debugger via the GDB remote protocol. (I've not tried to implement support debugging actual Windows applications, though there's nothing in what I've done that would prevent that later.)


There will be a few more patches in this series, but no major changes to the structure of GDB.

If there indeed is such an effort, did you consider adding
gettimeofday(2) to libiberty?

No. Do you prefer that I ask DJ/Ian about that?

* config.in (HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY): #undef it.

This should not be necessary.

OK.
