[Christian Biesinger]

Thanks for the patch! This looks good to me, though I can't officially
approve patches. But could you send patches to
gdb-patches@sourceware.org?

Also, it would be great if you could set up git-send-email for sending
patches, as that makes it easier to comment on them (it sends them
inline in the email)

Finally, patches require a changelog entry, please add one:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#ChangeLog
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#Properly_Formatted_GNU_ChangeLog

Thanks again,
Christian

Many thanks Christian

Will send to gdb-patches now with the ChangeLog.

Unfortunately my Ubuntu LTS git is stuck on 2.17.1 without the git-send-email command for the moment. I'll paste in an 
email to allow better comments.


Regards, Jonny

It's been available for ages, it's not a matter of old git.  It's just that it's
packaged separately:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/git-email

The packages.ubuntu.com interface (derived from packages.debian.org) is handy to
find which package provides a given file.  For example to find that the git-email
package provides the git-send-email file:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=bionic&arch=amd64&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=git-send-email

Alternatively, the `apt-file` package gives you the same functionality locally.

Many thanks. I've installed the package and will use git send-email next time

Spent some time trying to get git send-email set up with gmail SMTP, but ran out of time, and didn't want to put my password in a file on on command line.  In the end I just followed the guide https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/email-clients.html#thunderbird-gui

I've sent through to gdb-patches, fingers-crossed

Hi Christian

Thank you for the links.

There's a small typo on that ContributionChecklist wiki. Signed up, but can't edit the page.

"of they will be rejected during mailing list moderation"
^ should be "or"

Thanks, I fixed the typo, although I am not sure that sentence is
right -- I don't think gdb-patches is moderated?

That doesn't sound right... feel free to just remove that part of the sentence.

Just replace moderation with review and it will make sense.
