Our in-tree gdb is not particularly useful, but it also supports some debug information that both the ports gdb and upstream gdb do not. I am unaware of anyone working on bringing those changes and kgdb support to the ports gdb; I don't expect I'll be able to. I will work on LLDB kernel debugging support although I don't have a specific timeline yet. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
