We were recently wondering (buried in a thread on the gdb-patches list) whether the guile support in gdb actually works. Does anybody use it regularly? If it doesn't work, I'd like to remove it. FWIW, I think whatever guile-specific value-printing code there is in gdb would be better rewritten as some python pretty-printers maintained and distributed with guile itself. That will reduce the chance of bit-rotting. (From what I can tell, this is actually the bulk of the guile code in gdb that might actually work.) Tom
