Re: [PATCH] Improve i386 prologue analyzer


Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2004 10:07:58 -0400
From: Andrew Cagney <cagney@gnu.org>

So by releasing 6.2._2_ in 2-3 weeks with this patch, and 6.2.1 today we get a win-win. The MIPS fix isn't held up, and the i386 fix gets 2-3 more weeks to mature :-)


You know, I really don't understand what is going on here.  First, I'm
told that GDB 6.2 cannot wait and must be released with the MIPS
broken, and now GDB 6.2.1 cannot wait for a week or two because MIPS
is broken?  How does that make any sense?

Here's how things are panning out:


week 0.0: @6.2:
For current mainstream systems, our best releaes ever!
Late breaking discovery that MIPS is broken, time to resolution unknown (guess 2 weeks) but workaround in hand.


week 1.5: 6.2.1:
Critical MIPS problem fixed.
Fix for long-standing i386 bug known (needs 2 weeks testing)

week 4.0: 6.2.2:
Long standing bug on old i386 systems fixed.

Does this seem reasonable.

Andrew
