What has changed since GDB-3.5?
(Organized release by release)
*** Changes in GDB-4.13:
* New "complete" command for use by emacs.
* New "complete" command
* "set prompt" no longer adds a space for you after the prompt you set. This
This lists all the possible completions for the rest of the line, if it
were to be given as a command itself. This is intended for use by emacs.
* Trailing space optional in prompt
"set prompt" no longer adds a space for you after the prompt you set. This
allows you to set a prompt which ends in a space or one that does not.
* Breakpoint hit counts
"info break" now displays a count of the number of times the breakpoint
has been hit. This is especially useful in conjunction with "ignore"; you
can ignore a large number of breakpoint hits, look at the breakpoint info
to see how many times the breakpoint was hit, then run again, ignoring one
less than that number, and this will get you quickly to the last hit of
that breakpoint.
* Ability to stop printing at NULL character
"set print null-stop" will cause GDB to stop printing the characters of
an array when the first NULL is encountered. This is useful when large
arrays actually contain only short strings.
* Shared library breakpoints
In SunOS 4.x, SVR4, and Alpha OSF/1 configurations, you can now set
breakpoints in shared libraries before the executable is run.
* Hardware watchpoints
There is a new hardware breakpoint for the watch command for sparclite
targets. See gdb/sparclite/hw_breakpoint.note.
Hardware watchpoints are also now supported under Linux.
* Annotations
Annotations have been added. These are for use with graphical interfaces,
and are still experimental. Currently only gdba.el uses these.
* Improved Irix 5 support
GDB now works properly with Irix 5.2.
* Improved HPPA support
GDB now works properly with the latest GCC and GAS.
* New native configurations
Sequent PTX4 i[34]86-sequent-ptx4
HPPA running OSF/1 hppa*-*-osf*
Atari TT running SVR4 m68*-*-sysv4*
RS/6000 LynxOS rs6000-*-lynxos*
* New targets
OS/9000 i[34]86-*-os9k
MIPS R4000 mips64*{,el}-*-{ecoff,elf}
Sparc64 sparc64-*-*
* Hitachi SH7000 and E7000-PC ICE support
There is now support for communicating with the Hitachi E7000-PC ICE.
This is available automatically when GDB is configured for the SH.
* Fixes
As usual, a variety of small fixes and improvements, both generic
and configuration-specific. See the ChangeLog for more detail.
*** Changes in GDB-4.12:
* Irix 5 is now supported
