[M3devel] gdb on Darwin

[Jay K]

Apple doesn't push up all its changes, I think because they think/know they wouldn't all be accepted.

But granted, actually just supporting a target, should be acceptable.

Problems may be more like language changes for Mac source compat, though I'd think with flags to turn them off/on, they'd be ok, but that's another point.

 

The lag does seem severe here though.

I guess wait for the gdb 7.0 release and then reevaluate?

In the meantime, no m3gdb for I386_DARWIN, AMD64_DARWIN.

I haven't tried PPC_DARWIN yet.

 

I agree the forking is unfortunate.

Even if it is temporary, it seems to go too long.
