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.
|
||||
|
||||
