Subject: [RFC] Deprecate stabs
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2023 10:41:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230119174156.654402-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
I think it's time to deprecate stabs, and plan to remove all support
for them. Stabs are long since obsolete and are not really maintained
in gdb. GCC deprecated them in 12 and will remove them as well.
