Here is the current status from my perspective:
. DanielJ's fix is great for PR gdb/379 and PR gdb/380. It has been in
mainline for a couple of test cycles with no regressions. It's one of the
steps DanielJ took to reach his fabulous "NO FAIL" tree.
. I grabbed the patch and tested it on the 5.2 branch. It tests great
over there.
. I'm waiting for approval to commit to the branch. Then I can spin more
test results and produce another detailed "5.1.1 versus gdb_5_2-branch"
report.
. This fix does not fix PR gdb/381. gdb/381 is still happening in mainline.
I'm secretly hoping that DanielJ will take an interest in it.
. I am ambivalent about whether gdb/381 is a showstopper. On one hand:
any regression is bad and should be nailed down before a release.
On the other hand: gdb/381 happens only in gcc-3_1-branch and
gcc HEAD, which are not released. "Ambivalence" also translates to:
I'll be comfortable with whatever Andrew decides.
