Hello everyone,
Here is another update about the GDB 11 branching. We're making
progress, thanks guys! :-)
Thanks to Andrew's analysis on PR gdb/26819 (RISC-V: internal-error:
int finish_step_over [...]), we found that this is not blocking for
GDB 11 branching or release, so I removed it from the list.
I moved PR tdep/26633 (add Z80 support) to the nice-to-have section.
It was initially in the "ongoing" section on the premise that the patch
had been submitted a while ago and therefore deserved to be considered
for GDB 11. However, I'm not seeing activity from the author, and
the patch adds a new feature, so we shouldn't block the release for it.
I also moved PR gdb/26868 (Follow-up on x86-64 stub submission) to
the nice-to-have section; it's not critical, since this patch adds
a new feature, and seems blocked due to lack of copyright assignment.
Fixed Since the Previous Update:
--------------------------------
* [SimonM] <PR python/27841>
Failed assertion: assigning convenience variable during inferior exit Python event
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27841
Added Since the Last Update:
----------------------------
* [Bernd/PedroA/TomT] TUI issues from mouse-support patch
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-June/179541.html
Other Ongoing Items:
--------------------
* [TomDV] <PR symtab/26327>
GDB hangs in get_builder() due to recursive ancestor pointers
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26327
There was a patch, but it caused some regressions, and thus
it has been reverted, making us reopen this PR.
One comment (May 21st) in the PR says:
| The problem is not that we search ancestors, the problem is that
| we allow ancestors to form a loop. See detailed investigation at
| <URL: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185800 >. Your
| fix looks more like a band-aid to me.
* [Simon/Kevin] <PR gdb/27526>
Attaching to threaded process on glibc 2.33: libthread_db fails to initialize with "generic error"
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27526
Patch v2 at...
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-May/178485.html
... approved by Kevin at:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-June/179559.html
... But Kevin indicates there are other issues he needs looking at
for which he hopes to send patches for next week.
* [RainerO] <PR binutils/27666>
ar doesn't create indices on Solaris/sparcv9
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27666
Causes large number of tests to fail in gdb's testsuite.
Patch has been proposed by NickC (uploaded to bugzilla),
tested by RainerO (2021-06-01) with unfortunately mixed results.
Worse case scenario, we can branch and then revert the binutils
patch that caused the issue.
* [Simon] <PR gdb/27899>
[GNU/Linux, sparc64] GDB crashes when debugging multithreaded programs
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27899
Patch posted at:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-May/179382.html
* [LuisM] <PR corefiles/27909>
AArch64 MTE fixes and corefile support
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27909
Not Critical, but Requested:
----------------------------
* [BerndE] Improve debugging of optimized code
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/175617.html

* [Sergey with Simon as reviewer] <PR tdep/26633>
Add Z80 CPU support
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26633
Patch submitted at:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-September/172083.html
(May 24th) High-level pre-review done at:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-May/179191.html
No movement since then. Not blocking for branching since it would
be safe to backport after branching. Not blocking for release either.
* [Simon] <PR gdb/26868>
Follow-up on x86-64 stub submission
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26868
This is the submission in question:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-November/173182.html
For me, although I am not a lawyer, I don't think we can accept
the contribution without the author signing a copyright assignment
form.
Thank you!
