            Bug ID: 26796
           Summary: [readnow] Missing complaints
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

When using -readnow, some complaints are missing due to the fact that they're
only implemented in the partial symbol reader.

It's desirable to have the same behaviour for gdb irrespective of the symbol
reading mode, though in some cases it may not be practical to implement.

For now, file the occurrences here for KFAILing.

F.i., these complaints are missing with -readnow:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-stack-boundary.exp: set complaints 100

--- Comment #2 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
My inclination is to say that this isn't worth bothering with.
Complaints are really a gdb developer feature, not a user feature.
Even -readnow is really just a workaround for bugs -- while some
users do use it, it should be considered a gdb bug that they ever
have to.
