Hi, Long long time ago (2012 or so) there was a (vivid) discution regarding a C++ rewrite of GDB. I stayed away at that time from participating, and ended up to do other things (still debugger related though). Now I retrieved some bandwith and consider going back on GDB dev, but still today I am reluctant with C++ So my question is, does this rewrite of GDB in C++ has been shelved or is is still going? For what I see on my distro, the gdb-7.11.1 is still C, so i would guess that no progress has been done since 2012 ? PS: Don't flame on C++ vs C, my question is really about the road map of GDB. If this is pure C I could refresh my mem to contribute, if going C++ this is fine too, I would simply find other project there are plenty :) Cheers, Phi
