Hi,
I propose to deprecate ARM FPA support in GDB. The FPA
deprecation discussion was started in 2010 in GCC
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-05/msg00442.html and it was removed
in 2012 https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-06/msg00825.html
The deprecation means GDB no longer has options "fpa" and "softfpa" in
command "set arm fpu". Currently, it is,
(gdb) set arm fpu
auto fpa softfpa softvfp vfp
I can't find GDB policy on deprecating code except
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Obsoleting-code What do I
need to do if I want to deprecate ARM FPA in 8.0 release?
