RE: Your remove-symbol-file patch

["Ivan Shcherbakov" <ivan at sysprogs dot com>]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your patch! It really improves the debugging experience
with Linux kernel modules as I don't need to reload all symbols when one
module got unloaded.
One more question. We are releasing a product that allows debugging Linux
kernel modules with Visual Studio and your patch would be extremely useful
for our customers. Would it be OK for us to publish it on our website
mentioning your authorship?

Best regards,
Ivan Shcherbakov

Hi Ivan,

You are interested in the following emails. Patches sent to the mailing list
are usually split in series of emails.  The first email of a series is often
a cover letter, e.g., Patch 0/5. The real patches are in subsequent emails.

This series includes a patch for the remove-symbol-file (Patch 1/5) and
another one for the documentation (Patch 2/5).
Patch 2/3 fixes the add-symbol-files command so that user-added files
appears when typing 'info files'.  Patch 4/5 adds an utility test function
that is being used in Patch 5/5 for testing the command.

Hi,

Sorry, I might be looking for the wrong thing here, but I could not find the
patch download link on the page you mentioned. It contains various
statistics about the file, but not the patch file itself. Could please you
send me a copy of the patch file or point to a download link? [PATCH v1
4 0/5] remove-symbol-file & add-symbol-file

Best regards,
Ivan Shcherbakov

Subject: Your remove-symbol-file patch

Hi,

I am Ivan Shcherbakov from Sysprogs OU. We are using GDB internally for some
tricky debugging scenarios and were going to add the remove-symbol-file
command to support some of them.
According to GDB mailing lists it looks like you have already done a similar
thing. Is there a possibility for us to try your patch adding the
remove-symbol-file command? I could not find the patch file in the mailing
list archives.

Best regards,
Ivan Shcherbakov
