I think the status is roughly the same as when we discussed it a couple of weeks ago. There is one regression which affects Ada that we need to look at: [JoelB/PedroA] regresssion(internal-error) printing subprogram argument https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00298.html Given that we've held the branch for quite a while, now, and that some have patches they'd like to push post branching, I propose: --> We branch on: Friday Jan 5th <-- Given that the fix to the regression above is going to affect symbol lookups, I propose we hold the first pre-release until we have a fix in the branch. From then, we can try to have the first release hopefully a couple of weeks later, but this depends on how quickly the following issues, identified as blocking for release can be fixed: * [Pedro] gdb/22583 gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp regressions on software single-step tar gets * [Maciej] remote/22597 Empty `qsThreadInfo' reply handling regression causing inability to execute I'm trying to understand whether this is specific to mips or more general. And whether this only affects GDB when debugging with older stubs or whether it affects us more generally. Depending on the answer, the issue might not be so severe as to hold the release. * [TomT] no PR yet Regression on 32-bit: gdb.guile/scm-ports.exp [Re: [RFA 1/2] Fix two regress ions in scalar printing https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00215.html * [SimonM] no PR yet hurd: Add enough auxv support for AT_ENTRY for PIE binaries Patch looks good to Simon. Just needs to be pushed, or else backported if not pushed before branching. Sounds like a plan? Thank you! -- Joel
