[Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com>]

Since for the last two weeks the round-table fell off the end of the 
meeting, here's what Red Hat is doing:

scox: printing types esp c++
mjw: bug fixes for stepping; support for .debug_frame in libunwind
for instance, lesson the need for asynchronous-unwind-tables in 
.eh_frame by using .debug_frame when available

tim: thread commands in hpd
for instance:
  (fhpd) [0,1] print x
  [0] 10
  [1] 20
i.e., prints x in two processes

pmuldoon: core file cleanup; low-level h.w watch-point investigation
watch-points, like breakpoints, get implemented at two levels: low is 
the h/w register manipulation and a correspinding abstraction; high is 
the translation of an expression into something to watch

rmoseley: source window crashers (e.g., hover in f7); 
frysk.proc.dead.Exe* (executable target)
this fills in a functional hole, and extends the collection of supported 
targets, for instance:
  (fhpd) load /bin/bash
  (fhpd) disassemble main

npremji: hpd option spit 'n' polish
a re-implementation of the Command class was added, but unfortunately 
the old code wasn't upgraded to the new mechanisms

mcvet: reporting exit and termination in hpd, ditto for break-points
for instance:
  (fhpd) run
  ... program exits ...
  Process 0 exiting with status 1
  (fhpd)


cmoller: prototype utrace bindings for frysk
getting ready for another target frysk.proc.live.Utrace*; would only be 
enabled with --utrace option.

teresa: support for dw_op_piece in location-expressions (a.k.a., 
frysk.value.Piece)
for instance, a value split between registers and memory

sami: inline stack backtraces
