Hi,

Upstream bug about this: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83199
"G_BREAKPOINT on non-x86 or alpha platforms"


It has been closed as "NOTABUG" with this comment:

"See comments on bug 75741 (not dupping because bug 75741 was
about something else originally and I don't want to change
its title.)

Tim considers that if you want to use G_BREAKPOINT() you
should (unconditionally) include gsignal.h in your
code.

I consider that you shouldn't use G_BREAKPOINT() except
possibly as a temporary debugging hack."


Do you have a strong objection to that and want to argue with upstream
to get this changed, or set this bug as WONTFIX/close it ?


Cheers,
