A couple of recent patches[1][2] have triggered the question of whether it would be better if we just dropped IPA from GDB. We do have some tests that make use of IPA in gdb.trace/, so its no untested code. I'd describe myself as neutral on this topic. I've never used the IPA myself, but I have no real objections to it continuing to live on. However, if nobody wants to keep it I'm happy to do to the work to remove it from GDB. So my question to the group: would anyone like to speak in favour of keeping the IPA around?
