GDB Talks at the GNU Cauldron

GDB Talks at the GNU Cauldron

[Phil Muldoon]

According to the organizers there are three to four talks at the 
Cauldron.  Something that Diego mentioned was the need to coordinate 
talks.  So, who has submitted abstracts, and what are their titles?  It 
would be good to plan for this.

Cheers,

Phil

Hello,

as I mentioned in http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-02/msg00003.html,
I submitted an abstract entitled "Supporting Parallel Component
Debugging Using the GDB Python Interface" for a presentation


Let me know if you need further detail for the planning


Cordially,

Kevin

I'm planning to do a little overview of Mentor's multicore efforts - ptc 
sets, target-side processing, etc.

Titel: GDB vs. MPI (Message Passing Interface) -- Prepared presentation and 
demo

Authors: Joachim Protze & Andreas Knüpfer


Andreas will present the status of our work on making GDB more verbose in
context of MPI and MPI internal structures. The presentation will also give 
an overview to the possibilities, the MPI standard holds for debuggers and
other tools.

The work founds on the python api of GDB. Is there any need, to have some
declaring words on this api or should the presentation focus on the 
challenges when dealing with MPI?

Thanks
Joachim

There is also one GDB-related submitted abour DWARF compression (posting with
Mark's agreement).

As I posted here before one general Roadmap talk of mine (I do not see any such
other talk here).

Title: Reducing DWARF debuginfo size.
Authors: Cary Coutant <ccoutant@google.com>, Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
Abstract: Generating, linking, reading and storing DWARF debuginfo take
significant resources, time and space.  We want to discuss some efforts
that have recently been done to reduce some of that in the compiler,
linker, package manager and tools, like debuggers, that use the DWARF
debug information.  We are interested in discussing efforts that worked,
the various tradeoffs, efforts that didn't produce significant results
and ideas for future DWARF reduction work and/or standardization.

Cary Coutant has been working on the Debug Fission project, DWARF
Extensions for Separate Debug Information Files:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission

Mark Wielaard has been working on the elfutils project, which contains
the libdw DWARF consumer library that is used by tools like systemtap
and the dwarves tools:

Title: GDB Roadmap
Authors: Jan Kratochvil
Abstract:
Status of missing features, status of features being worked on (known to me).

Which way to keep unused template methods code separate from the code output.
Dynamic types (such as variable length arrays) implementation choices in GDB.
