Personal reminder tracker for RFE from John: Date: 29 Aug 2003 14:42:27 -0400 From: John Dennis <jdennis> To: Mike Harris <mharris> Subject: Loadable server toggle in spec file Hi Mike: I often take advantage of the DebuggableBuild flag in the spec file but since gdb doesn't work the loadable server I usually resort to disabling the loadable server. But this requires manually editing either the spec file of host.def to add: #define DoLoadableServer NO Do you think you could add a toggle to the spec file like DebuggableBuild that would add that line to the host.def? Maybe call it StaticServer?
Modular X.Org uses dlopen() for module loading, so can be debugged by gdb. Additionally, it appears to be debuginfo compatible. The X server also can print it's own backtrace when it crashes now too. That pretty much makes building static servers an obsolete thing in the modular tree. Closing bug "WONTFIX", as it doesn't make sense to do this now.
