Great, thank you for the early work! I will try it later.
btw, do you have any plan or need of rebasing gdb for the present?
No, I don't have a need/plan for upstream crash's gdb rebasing for
now. Currently it works well in our daily job.
However I did see there is patch backported to gdb-10.2, like patch
"gdb: Verify COFF symbol stringtab offset". And it has been 2 years
since the last gdb upgrade. So I think maybe we can prepare the gdb
upgrading work ahead of upstream, more tests can be conducted, thus
upstream can take the gdb upgrading patch when needed and more
smoothly.
Thanks,
Tao Liu
