I don't care whether it's my patch or Red Hat's or someone else's, so
long as the bug is fixed.
The bug affects us and we want it fixed. I would rather not have to
reapply the patch for each release.
If problems are found with the patch, generally they are easy to fix --
find the ooffending variable and change it from int to LONGEST.
I configured GDB with --enable-werror. I started by changing everything
that I cou8ld find that was going to cause problems and then iterated
until everything built and ran with no regressions.
There a couple of places where I wasn't certain that it needed to be
converted, but I figured better safe than sorry.
If people are truly worried about it destabilizing GDB, then the right
approach is to put it in early -- to get as much mileage as possible on
it before the next release.
With regard to GDB moving to C++ -- it might happen, it has certainly
been talked about on and off for enough years, but as whether it will
ever happen -- who knows. But, I am not going hold my breath.
