Hello,

It's been almost 2 weeks since we branched, and there has been a number
of issues fixed since then.

On the wiki (https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_7.10_Release),
we have 1 TODO item left:

  - Eval with KeithS regressions due to GCC 5.1 (regressions caused by
    GCC rather than GDB)

    For this one, the latest (private) update I got from Keith was
    that GDB was likely in the clear - mostly GCC issues? Keith?

We still have 2 "Maybe"'s:

  - [GCC review/Jan] PR compile/18485 (set debug compile: Display GCC driver
    filename)
  - [GCC review/Jan] PR compile/18486 (Add 'set compile-gcc')

  If the reason for it being a "Maybe" is time, we can probably give you
  a little extra time (see below).

I've moved the following item to the Exclude list, as per Pedro's
recommendation:

  - PR gdb/18600 (After forking and threads spawning, gdb leaves newly
    created threads stopped) (too delicate)

David Edelson reported that the buildBot was reporting a lot of
failures around the time we cut the branch. Has anyone looked at those
since then? When I did, I was looking at the waterfall view, and
several builds looked like they were failing right at the beginning,
so I didn't know what to make of it. Also, that's a lot of info to
grok, so I didn't have time to look further.

What I can say is that I've tested the branch with a number of
platforms, not as exhaustively of course, but so far, it looks
pretty good.

What I think we should do is give it another couple of weeks, and
see if other reports come up. It would be good, also, if we had
some info about the buildBOT failures, and whether the release
might be affected by any regression it found.

So, I propose a re-sync on Aug 3rd.

Do we consider the fact that mingw32 (and maybe other non-GNU) builds 
have been broken since this libiberty sync a blocker/critical issue?

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-06/msg00405.html

Last we heard of it was here...

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-06/msg00654.html

But we received no word from Yunlian Jiang yet.

Maybe it should be added to the wiki too?

That is correct. If there are gdb issues, it is merely some regexps in
the test suite that need updating.

I have pinged those now:
	ping: [PATCH v3 1/4] libcc1: Introduce GCC_FE_VERSION_1
	https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01563.html

But I do not think it matters much, there are other more important parts of
the 'compile' project.

The release really should not be delayed in any way for it.
It could be also already rejected that 7.11 will be enough for it.

It's strange, it builds fine for me on Windows/MinGW - but perhaps
the problem doesn't happen if you use MinGW64, which is what I think
my compiler provides.

But, back to your question, very definitely. If we can't even build
on Windows, we should at least decide what to do next. I haven't seen
the error; do you happen to have a link handy? Do you happen to have
a link?

OK, in that case, let's just delete those entries from the wiki,
and if you get the patches in master in time, you can always ask
for the patches to also be ported to 7.10.

Jan-Benedict posted one example here:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-06/msg00650.html

I see something similar related to the implicit declaration of asprintf.

It's not broken: I've built the pretest with that problem in it, and
it does build, albeit with a (harmless) warning.

The release tarball builds without -Werror, so this warning is just a
warning, since asprintf does return an int.

Are you sure you didn't see a warning about asprintf while building
bfd?  It's easy to miss that.

I see it also, but it's just a warning that doesn't affect the
correctness of the code.

It would be nice to fix that before the relase, of course.

Have I missed something? Pedro said that about changing the behavior of
when the prompt returns when an inferior exits (see [1]).  I don't recall
him saying that about the fix for 18600 though.  I was actually planning
early next week to formalize and submit the patches he sent in that thread,
hoping they could find their way into 7.10.

Heya,

As has been explained before, our testsuite contains some racy tests,
and therefore our BuildBot is just spilling lots of FAIL's from them.  I
have been trying to work on a solution to help address this problem;
meanwhile, other are looking at the logs (mostly Yao, I think) and
reporting whenever they see something there.

Yeah, I agree.  I'll investigate the logs and see if they contain
something suspicious.  Unfortunately, due to the recent problem
(reported at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00506.html>) the build
logs are not available anymore for a number of builds...  But the
BuildBot logs (i.e., the e-mails it sends to gdb-testers -- those have
not been affected) should be enough to determine if there's something
strange.

Thanks,

I see. It would be nice to fix those, but those are not fatal
for the release, because the default on the release branch is
to turn -Werror off; so users will get the warning, but it will
not be fatal unless they configure with --with-werror.

Fair enough. I'm ok with that.

OK, I must have gotten confused and did not realize there were two
issues being discussed. I've put the item back on the todo.

Ok thanks!  I'll try to send it early next week, so that it's not too
last minute.

Yes, I looked at them last week.  I can't reproduce most of them on my
machine.  For fails I can reproduce, I identified the patches related to
these fails, and ping the authors.

  - fails in gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.exp are fixed by Jan
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00476.html

  - GDBserver crashes when killing a multi-thread process.  Remind Pedro
  to commit his patch.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00182.html

  - fails in attach-pie-noexec.exp fail on native-extended-gdbserver are
    fixed by me.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00367.html

  - fails in gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp are being discussed.
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00315.html
  These fails are not fixed, but they are test case problem rather than
  GDB's problem.  I still don't have a chance to think about how to make
  different architectures/os happy for this test case.  IMO, these fails
  shouldn't block 7.10 release.

  - fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp
  I am working on a patch series to fix these fails, and probably I'll
  send them out today or tomorrow.
  I'd like to fix it before 7.10 release.

I know that Pedro suggested fixing up bfd's configure.ac, has this
been tried out?

I can send in a patch, but admittedly I'll be making the change blind.

Thanks for looking into those, Yao.

The tentative date for relase is early Aug, so just let me know if
you need a little more time.

I've been trying to reproduce, to test your patch, but I've been hitting
all sort of weird issues that have nothing to do with this and now I am
running out of time :-(.

It would be good to get this fixed on master, but as said previously,
it should not be critical for the gdb-7.10-branch.

It's also a varargs function though; varargs functions
must have a visible prototype.  I wouldn't be surprised if this
resulted in a crash/corruption on some targets/abis.

ISTR seeing a patch for this, but I can't find it now.

Did I just imagine it?

Ah, yes.  Looks good to me, though bfd is owned by binutils; the
patch needs to be sent to the binutils@ list.
