PR 16253-induced performance regression So far, I only heard from Doug who thinks the best option at this point is to temporarily revert the offending patch. It would be nice to hear from Keith as well, JIC. . Build failure with Python 2.4 (caused by "Add xmethod support to the Python API") https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00169.html Shouldn't be a problem for the release, since we build without -Werror by default, but should not be hard to fix, and would be better to have. . I just noticed a regression with gdbserver on LynxOS. The testing came back just in the nick of time to identify the source of the regression: commit 802e8e6d8465a0d05803a987ba1bb3237fb2fb70 [GDBserver] Make Zx/zx packet handling idempotent. I will more into it right away. . I also noticed what looks like some failures with gdbserver on Windows, but I haven't had time to look into this. I am hoping it's the same issue was on LynxOS. I will create a PR(s) as soon as I know more about the issues I detected. -- Joel
