Also, we are attempting to get XFree86 debug support integrated into future FSF gdb. The major holdup is basically nobody knows who the original authors of the patches were from way back when for proper attribution and copyright assignment and all the other joys the FSF requires.I was the original author. I have a record of one patch from Gerd Knorr (then
I know one of the authors was Paul Flinders, and I've got an email address for him still. Does anyone else know who all worked on the XFree86 gdb patches? The only history I know of it is:
The version on the XFree86 site is 4.18 or somesuch. I took that
and ported it about 60% functionally to gdb 5.0, which Paul then
found out about and finished off the parts that weren't working. I later ported it to gdb 5.1.1, and it's partially ported to a more recent version as well.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) which was the "PPC port", however that might
just be trivial enough to not need assignment (I've included it below).
Apart from yourself I don't recall any other contributions but I will have another look over my email archives.
I do still check over the list to see if anyone is reporting problems but hardly anyone ever does. I'm never sure whether to interpret this as a sign that nobody uses the modified GDB or that it works fine and no-one is having problems.
Here is Gerd's patch.
