I see 3 issues from the comments: 1) Interface stability. The current gdb 6.3 release is declared volatile. Feedback indicates this is too low. I agree and propose to change to uncommitted. 2) Why was curses switched form libncurses in gdb 6.3 to libcurses in gdb 6.8? This change was made before I came on to the project and I can only speculate that it may have been unintentional. libncurses is located in /usr/gnu/lib on Solaris and will not be found be default. If the configure script does not find libncurses, it will automatically switch to libcurses. I have tested both Sparc and Intel with libncurses, the results are comparable to those with libcurses, and I will make the switch. 3) Why not use libreadline.so in place of libreadline.a bundled with gdb? OK. All 3 changes are included in the attachment. Thanks, George -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
