On the whole I think it would be better if you could use feature tests instead. In theory I think the allowable versions are defined in the internals manual: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Versions I'm afraid I don't know how closely reality conforms to this. Also see the vendor branch page: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Vendor-Branches -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
