Re: FP stack empty at function entry? not always

   From: muller@cerbere.u-strasbg.fr

    I am currently converting the extension of GDB to pascal language
   to version 4.18 and I would like to insert this in the official GDB
   sources, but I don't know to whom I should send the diffs for this!

I was wondering if anybody was working on Pascal support...

If you have some GDB patches that you'd like people to look at, please
send them to gdb-patches@sourceware.cygnus.com; we can give you some
preliminary feedback on them.

    I am member of the development team of FPC (free pascal compiler)
   and I sent my patches (relative to v4.17 to the GPC maintainers
   but never really got feedback!) This is annoying because my patches have
   some small parts which are compiler specific and I don't know really how to
   cope with this!

I'm a little confused by this - you sent GDB patches to GPC maintainers?
They probably didn't know what to do with them.

    Another question is relative to STABS format,
   I would like to know if this format is still subject to improovements or if
   it 
   is totally freezed specifications
   (especially object extensions and
   what I found mostly missing in STABS : browser information!)

The stabs format is not totally frozen, but it doesn't change very much;
if it did, you could have massive compat problems between different
versions of compiler and debugger.  If you proposed extensions, you
would have to get a bunch of different people to agree to them...
