Re: RFC: MI output during program execution

As you've no doubt noticed, we have lots of intermingled local
changes, so it's going to be a long hard process to contribute
everything. While (IMHO) at least 95% of our local changes are
of interest for FSF GDB, the context diff alone (no new files,
no configury diffs) is 125Kloc! So we'll be most grateful for
any help you can lend. I myself have been working on a patch
for the basic native configuration, which will help break some
of the contribution logjam by enabling testing on Darwin instead
of Linux or some other config.


I'm only considering merging the event notification in in MI. I realise this
probably involves other files such as infrun.c but hopefully these changes
can be separated from more extensive ones that you may have made.

Yes, though separating them is a part of the task...




Could you please tell me where you think the best place to start would be?
I guess CVS would be better than a tarball. Would it be best to wait until
Stan & Klee have completed their merge?



Anything you do now will be of value, I don't think our MI stuff
has churned a whole lot, but I would like to put out a drop of
our latest mostly-working CVS anyway, since it's merged up to FSF
sources as of a few days ago, plus most of the local changes have
been at least categorized by purpose. I can't think of any obstacles,
but as a "newbie" in Apple GDB :-) , I need to find out what I can do.



Presumably I can pick this merge from CVS (I've already checked out the current
source). Did you tag the merge? Is it gdb-424?

The CVS repository is not live. Usually we push whenever we do a release. Stan will have to do a push of the current TOT before you will be able to get it from the CVS server. gdb-424 is not what you want anyway. That's a branch off of the old merge.



I have heard that Apple are moving MacOSX over to Intel architecture. Is it
possible to get a copy of Darwin (or even a preview of MacOSX) for Intel so
that I can put it on a partition on my PC? That way I can compare the output
of my merged version of FSF GDB with that of Apple GDB.

You can get and install Darwin for MacOS X. That's freely available from the OpenDarwin project. I've never messed around with this, however, so I don't know anything about how to set it up. But the Mac OS X for Intel release only runs on Apple Hardware, and you can only get it by purchasing an transitional hardware kit from Apple.
