GDB 12 preparation and target date?

GDB 12 preparation and target date?

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

Now that GDB 11.2 (corrective release) is out, we can start discussing
the next release, which should be GDB 12.

I propose we aim for the following dates:

  - GDB 12 branching 2 months from now (~Mar 20-25);
  - GDB 12.1 release 2 weeks later, so early Apr.

In terms of patches, I think it would be useful to start listing
the fixes and enhancements we'd like to include in GDB 12, and
keep track of them. If possible, it helps if the patches have
a corresponding GDB PR with the the target milestone set to 12.1.

Let me know what you guys think, and also please let us know what
patches you think should be included in GDB 12, and why they are
important.

Thank you!

I personally wouldn't mind it even a bit sooner, but this plan is also
fine by me.

As for patches, I guess it would be good if we could get through the
backlog of unreviewed patches, at least those not from global
maintainers.  Not that all of these could land, but at least they could
be not in limbo.

That would be fine for me as well. Let's call try to aim for early
March? From experience, it's been tough for us to converge in that
kind of time frame, but we can certainly try!

Agreed.

If people send me the URLs of the patches that are still waiting
for review, I'm happy to keep track of their progress.

Hi,

I propose this bug to be targeted for the 12.1 release, since it seems
like a regression:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28833

I couldn't change the target milestone myself.

Thanks

I'd like to see the MI commands in Python patch land:

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-January/185332.html

this is an alternative to the series Jan posted, but I believe that
Jan and I are both happy with my version, linked above.

Thanks,
Andrew

I'd like to land my FreeBSD async mode series in GDB 12.

I m now keeping an eye on this patch series. Just make sure I understand
the situation well: As far as I can tell, the patch series has been
reviewed by Tom (Jan 14th), and the ball is now in your court to send
a new patch series?

Tom had generally signed off on v4, but he noted some questions he wasn't
sure about.  Those questions were valid and uncovered some other bugs
which I posted as v5 (the link above is the cover letter for v5).  Eli
has approved the NEWS blurb in v5.  I think the only outstanding bits
are if patches 4 and 7 in the v5 series are ok?
