I would be happy to make stabs reading work in the new framework; it's probably pretty easy. My concern mostly is to have a way to check I didn't break anything. I suppose one option is to build something with gcc-4.7 -gstabs and check that the old and new readers produce the same debugging output. Better suggestions, and/or offers to test it properly, gratefully received. J |
