*** Changes since GDB 6.8
* Watchpoints can now be set on unreadable memory locations, e.g. addresses
which will be allocated using malloc later in program execution.
* New features in the GDB remote stub, gdbserver
- The "--wrapper" command-line argument tells gdbserver to use a
wrapper program to launch programs for debugging.
* New commands
set debug timetstamp
show debug timestamp
Display timestamps with GDB debugging output.
* Watchpoints can now be set on unreadable memory locations, e.g. addresses
which will be allocated using malloc later in program execution.
set exec-wrapper
show exec-wrapper
unset exec-wrapper
Use a wrapper program to launch programs for debugging.

your program too late, as the program would have already completed the
elaboration phase. Under these circumstances, insert breakpoints in your
elaboration code before running your program.
@kindex set exec-wrapper
@item set exec-wrapper @var{wrapper}
@itemx show exec-wrapper
@itemx unset exec-wrapper
When @samp{exec-wrapper} is set, the specified wrapper is used to
launch programs for debugging. @value{GDBN} starts your program
with a shell command of the form @kbd{exec @var{wrapper}
@var{program}}. Quoting is added to @var{program} and its
arguments, but not to @var{wrapper}, so you should add quotes if
appropriate for your shell. The wrapper runs until it executes
your program, and then @value{GDBN} takes control.
You can use any program that eventually calls @code{execve} with
its arguments as a wrapper. Several standard Unix utilities do
this, e.g.@: @code{env} and @code{nohup}. Any Unix shell script ending
with @code{exec "$@@"} will also work.
For example, you can use @code{env} to pass an environment variable to
the debugged program, without setting the variable in your shell's
environment:
@smallexample
(@value{GDBP}) set exec-wrapper env 'LD_PRELOAD=libtest.so'
(@value{GDBP}) run
@end smallexample
This command is available when debugging locally on most targets, excluding
@sc{djgpp}, Cygwin, MS Windows, and QNX Neutrino.

process. This option is intended for @code{gdbserver} development and
for bug reports to the developers.
The @option{--wrapper} option specifies a wrapper to launch programs
for debugging. The option should be followed by the name of the
wrapper, then any command-line arguments to pass to the wrapper, then
@kbd{--} indicating the end of the wrapper arguments.
@code{gdbserver} runs the specified wrapper program with a combined
command line including the wrapper arguments, then the name of the
program to debug, then any arguments to the program. The wrapper
runs until it executes your program, and then @value{GDBN} gains control.
