The problem with stabs is that there isn't a clear standard. There is a document, from Red Hat I think, floating around which is a quasi-standard, and I think Valgrind's reader is based on this. But some compilers just do different things, eg. stabs on Darwin is close to unusable. Given that stabs is increasingly rare, I think there are more useful things that can be worked on. Especially if it has only so far manifested as a single regtest failure. Nick |
