Well, in that regard, I think that this thread will be better if it waits a week or two after gdb 6.0 is released. eli> I hope you will agree that a program exists to provide user-level eli> features, not to satisfy QA. QA is a means; I hope there's ends to eli> which the means exists. Sure. QA is a means. However, my opinion is that "more QA" is a critical factor for improving the gdb user experience. If you look at the mailing lists and gnats database, there's a lot more requests that fall under "expand scope of existing stuff" and not much "this feature would be nice". For example, many C++ programmers would like "break Foo::Foo" to work. Michael C
