Subject: Letters reserved for future use
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 01:06:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f2776cb0511141706n692c7d51j1ffa959bf1961948@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

In (gdb)Remote Serial Protocol, every upper- and lower-case letter
that is not given a meaning is marked individually as "reserved for
future use".  This is kind of dopey.  Could we just have one remark at
the top that says that all upper- and lower-case letters not defined
there are reserved for future use?

What should people looking to make vendor-specific extensions to the
protocol do?  Are they required to stay within the general query /
general set commands, with a vendor prefix?
