What's the point in this exactly? GDB is quite broken on Solaris at this time, afaict. It's incapable of reading our core dumps correctly (it either will fail to recognise the core, or when it does recognise one it'll tend to crash trying to parse it). Iirc, there are fairly old bugs open on this. It doesn't appear that either Sun or GNU have had any interest in fixing GDB on Solaris (did it break with S10 changes?). What's the point in moving a broken debugger from one place to another? If any energy is to be expended on GDB other than on fixing it, it should be on *removing* it. If I had a vote, and I were to ignore fact that PSARC doesn't decide on implementation, it'd be: Big huge -1 to this proposal.. regards, -- Paul Jakma, Solaris Networking Sun Microsystems, Scotland http://opensolaris.org/os/project/quagga tel: EMEA x73150 / +44 15066 73150
