Will GDB 6 have annotation level three? The patch that you posted (2003-03-11)
doesn't appear to have been applied yet.

I might have lost the plot a bit. I initially checked out interps-20030202-branch
but, after some difficulty, I moved to HEAD and found that things like 

-interpreter-exec console cli-command

 and 

interpreter mi -<mi-command> <mi-args>

were present there also. Am I in the right place?

In the past you have suggested that (in the fullness of time)

> The events [annotations] remain (target changed, breakpoint created, ....).

I've got my head round variable objects and think that they might map on to
alists and the Emacs speedbar quite well. This means I can avoid the
annotations that mark up displayed expressions. However, the proposed patch
also removed some event annotations e.g source, query. I would like these to
stay. Here is a revised and reduced list of annotations that I think I could
work with:

frames-invalid
breakpoints-invalid
pre-prompt
prompt
commands
overload-choice
query
prompt-for-continue
post-prompt
source
starting
exited
signalled
signal
breakpoint
watchpoint
frame-begin
stopped

Could these stay? (indefinitely?)
