# Progress #
o Ramp up * Concluded.
o Annual Review * Attended discussions.
o Upstream GDB * Patch reviews on gerrit. * Answered questions. * The state of ARM/AArch64 GDB upstream seems to be reasonable, with a few failures here and there. Numerous failures on problematic racy tests (gdb.threads).
o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Spent some more time on this and improve the patch further, covering most problematic cases for "for", "while" and "do/while" loops. * Read some documentation on setting up Fast Models for testing MVE (Helium). * Inspected various aspects of ARM support in GDB, like SVE, PAC and ACLE.
# Plan #
o Annual Review * Conclude.
o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Discuss with gcc@ a bit more about my proposed solution. * Attempt to setup system QEMU and/or Fast Model for testing ACLE SVE and, maybe, MVE.
