GDB 5.1 - Fixes
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a list of problems identified during the GDB 5.0 release
|
||||
cycle. People hope to have these problems fixed in a follow-on
|
||||
release.

|
||||
|
||||
The BFD directory requires bug-fixed AUTOMAKE et.al.
|
||||
|
||||
AUTOMAKE 1.4 incorrectly set the TEXINPUTS environment variable. It
|
||||
contained the full path to texinfo.tex when it should have only
|
||||
contained the directory. The bug has been fixed in the current
|
||||
AUTOMAKE sources. Automake snapshots can be found in:
|
||||
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/snapshots
|
||||
and ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/binutils
|
||||
cycle. People hope to have these problems fixed in 5.1.

Code Cleanups: Next Release
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
parse.c:build_parse() has a buffer overrun.
|

|

The following are small cleanups that will hopefully be completed by
|
||||
the follow on to 5.0.

Wow, three bug reports for the same problem in one day! We should
|
||||
probably make fixing this a real priority :-).
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, thanks for reporting.
|
||||
|
||||
The following patch will fix the problems with setting breakpoints in
|
||||
dynamically loaded objects:
|
||||
|
||||
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/gdb-patches/2000-05/msg00230.html
|
||||
|
||||
This patch isn't checked in yet (ping Michael/JimB), but I hope this
|
||||
will be in the next GDB release.
|
||||
|
||||
There should really be a test in the testsuite for this problem, since
|
||||
it keeps coming up :-(. Any volunteers?

Re: GDB 5.0.1?
|
||||
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-07/msg00038.html
|
||||
|
||||
Is the Solaris 8 x86 problem fixed? When you configure it, configure
|
||||
incorrectly determines that I have no curses.h. This causes mucho
|
||||
compilation errors later on.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply editing the config.h to define CURSES_H fixes the problem, and
|
||||
then the build works fine.
|
||||
|
||||
The status for this problem:
|
||||
|
||||
Solaris 8 x86 (PIII-560)
|
||||
gcc 2.95.2
|
||||
|
||||
I had the same problem with several of the snapshots shortly before
|
||||
5.0 became official, and 5.0 has the same problem.
|
||||
|
||||
I sent some mail in about it long ago, and never saw a reply.
|
||||
|
||||
I haven't had time to figure it out myself, especially since I get all
|
||||
confused trying to figure out what configure does, I was happy to find
|
||||
the workaround.
