There were such concerns, indeed. All we knew back then was that there was room for a lot of improvement in the quality of debug information, and that debug info quality was a priority for some and a non-concern for others. Time went by, code was written, adjustments were made, initial steps towards measuring debug info quality in our testsuite were taken. I guess it is now time to assess whether the concerns voiced before the implementation started, that I shared myself and took into account in its design, were sufficiently addressed in the design and in the implementation. We can measure some of these things now. Some can even be measured objectively ;-) -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer
