Quoting: #101866 (comment)

Does this file have any tests? I suspect that most of the code in this file is wrong (as we have changed much of CPython since it was written).

Problems:

1. After gh-101865: Deprecate co_lnotab from code objects as per PEP 626 #101866 gdbinit will use a deprecated co_lnotab property
2. There are no tests for it as far as I know
3. When the internal of CPython are changed, there's no way to detect that it was broken
4. There's no owner of this file, who can validate changes and keep it up-to-date

What should we do with it?
