All,
We are about 4-6 weeks away from starting the 5.3 release cycle. As it
stands, KSE still only works reliably on i386. There are reports of
significant instability on amd64, and it doesn't work at all on alpha
and sparc64. I'm willing to drop the alpha requirement and maybe even
the sparc64 requirement, but there absolutely will not be a 5.3 until
amd64 is solid. Please contact myself, Dan Eischen, and David Xu if
you are interested in helping out.
amd64 looks to be a problem in readline which doesn't seem
to redispatch signal handlers with SA_SIGINFO arguments.
David also has patches for debugging support at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~davidxu/kse/dbg/
Doug Rabson also has basic TLS support working in perforce.
What platforms? My understanding was that new binutils and gcc was
needed for sparc64 at a minimum.
It'd be nice to get TLS and debugging in before 5.3-release.
Yes. Be aware that there is a serious effort to get GDB 6.x into the
tree for 5.3. That presents us with a bit of a dilemma since David's
work is against GDB 5.x. It's hard to back off on the GDB 6 requirement
since it is needed for amd64 and sparc64. We need to get David, Marcel,
David O'brien, and Alexander Kabaev together to work out the combined
picture.
Scott
