qRcmd was invented well before my time, but qRcmd provides support
for running random interpreter commands on the server, with the
resulting output being potentially long, unbounded.  Thus sending the
text back in response to qRcmd would require an unbounded packet buffer
and would potentially hit the max packet size.  So you'd need some
way to send partial output in chunks.  Which ends up being exactly what
you get by reusing "O".

The documentation of the qRcmd packet explicitly specifies that output
should be sent via "O" packets:

 
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html#index-qRcmd-packet

Sounds like OpenOCD is working as intended.

   - In depth Tutorials (60 minutes)
   - Posters (1 hour poster session)
   - Birds of a Feather (~30 minutes)
   - Panels related to LLVM or sub-projects

*Student Research Competition (SRC): * The Student Research Competition
offers students doing LLVM related research a non-academic platform to
announce and advertise their work as well as to discuss it with other
researchers, developers and users of LLVM. Students are asked to submit a
proposal for a 20 minute technical talk. There will be a prize for the best
SRC talk.

*Please submit your proposal here:*  https://hotcrp.llvm.org/eurollvm2018/

*What to submit *For each proposal, please submit a title and short
abstract (to be used on the website) and attach/upload either an extended
abstract (1 page maximum) or slides. We ask that you do not submit a full
length paper as your only attachment as reviewer time is limited.  For the
submission, you will need to note who the speaker is. If there is more than
one speaker, please mention it in the abstract.

*When will I be notified of acceptance? *- Our goal is to notify all
proposal submitters by February 22, 2018.

*Should I register if I have submitted a proposal? * - We have 1
complimentary reserved registration for each accepted technical talk, BoF,
or student research competition talk. Accepted tutorials have been reserved
2 complimentary registrations. Panels have up to 3 reserved registrations.
There are no reserved registration spots for posters or lightning talks.
Please register any additional speakers or if you do not have a reserved
registration slot.

*What if I registered and my talk got accepted?* - We can refund your
