If you want to ask that question, go to gdb-patches. gdb (archives) A list for general discussion about GDB. Any GDB-related subject not covered by another list is appropriate here; in practice, most of the discussions are about ideas for future changes. Patches should be sent to the gdb-patches mailing-list (see below). Bugs should be reported using the Bug Database. gdb-patches (archives) For patch submissions and discussion. All patch submissions and submission discussion should go through this list. -- Regards, Peng
