The method JIT preserves the frame pointer, but that's not good enough for gdb. I'm not sure why. (I know the ABI says that unwinding information is required, but it still ought to be able to fallback to trying to use the frame pointer as it apparently does on x86.) I am working on the gdb/JIT integration in bug 642320. And I'm sharpening my axe. Are you on x86_64? The method JIT preserves the frame pointer, but that’s not good enough for gdb. I’m not sure why.

Could I get you to change the widescreen width to something less than 1371? (My MacBook is pretty wide, but apparently 29 pixels too narrow. :) Thanks, Blake. This is really cool!

Other than some minor bits of functionality, I'd definitely rather use this than tbpl. I have a couple of suggestions, ranging from minor tweaks to major features. Ok, maybe more than a couple. I was at two dozen a few minutes ago, and have added more since. So, where did you say was a good place to discuss this, again? mozilla-tools@lists.mozilla.org (newsgroup mozilla.tools) does indeed exist, and appears to be mostly dead. If the automation folks are indeed going to be inventing their own wheel, or taking over yours, then perhaps they could suggest a preferred forum? This latest revision is looking really awesome!

We discover what the test failures are by scanning the tinderbox logs. As a result of this scanning, we have more information than just the test that failed. Especially for mochitests, we have at least one line of the good stuff from "TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | file path | good stuff". This would presumably be useful to surface. >> although I’m failing to surface some of the details retrieved in the UI
