I see the patch is finished and integrated into gdb development line.
That's nice.

But I wonder: Is it possible to backport that to GDB12 or is the 
known/guessed amount of work because of the python3-only changes in GDB 
13 too much to add that to GDB 12 branch?

Thanks,
Simon

Thanks.  I'm glad this looks useful to you.

It should be trivial to backport, BUT, as I understand it we don't
usually backport new features to the release branches, only bug fixes.

I think you'd need to put forward a really compelling argument for why
this feature needs to be backported (over any other feature added to
master since gdb 12 branches).

I suspect the reality is you'll need to wait for gdb 13 in order to get
this feature.

Thanks,
Andrew
