Re: patch for printing 64-bit values in i386 registers; STABS format



I'm afraid I don't understand, and I still don't see your reasoning
against this approach.

It isn't necessary, just like register convertible and register raw/virtual size; .... that go before it, also were not necessary. And now all these years later, GDB is still yet to expunge.


Until someone does the right think - add support for values scattered across registers and memory - hacks should be confined to architecture specific code.
