Finally, there are certain legal requirements and style issues which
all contributors need to be aware of.

o Coding Standards
All contributions must conform to the GNU Coding Standard.
http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu/prep/standards_toc.html
Submissions which do not conform to the standards will be
returned with a request to reformat the changes.
For GDB, that standard is more tightly defined. GDB's
coding standard is determined by the output of
gnu-indent.
GDB has certain additional coding requirements. Those
requirements are explained in the GDB internals documentation
in the gdb/doc directory.
This situation came about because, by the start of '99,
GDB's coding style was so bad an inconsistent that it was
decided to restart things from scratch.

o Copyright Assignment
There are certain legal requirements
Before we can accept code contributions from you, we need a
copyright assignment form filled out.
copyright assignment form filled out and filed with the FSF.
If you've developed some addition or patch to GDB that you
would like to contribute, you should fill out a copyright
assignment form and send it in to the FSF. We are unable to
use code from you until this is on-file at the FSF, so get
that paperwork in! This form covers one batch of changes.
Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/assignment-instructions.html
See some documentation by the FSF for details and contact us
(either via the GDB mailing list or the GDB maintainer that is
taking care of your contributions) to obtain the relevant
forms.
If you think you're going to be doing continuing work on GDB, it
would be easier to use a different form, which arranges to
assign the copyright for all your future changes to GDB. It is
called assign.future. Please note that if you switch
employers, the new employer will need to fill out the
disclaim.future form; there is no need to fill out the
assign.future form again.
Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/assign.future
Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/disclaim.future
Small changes can be accepted without a copyright assignment form on file.
There are several other forms you can fill out for different
circumstances (e.g. to contribute an entirely new program, to
contribute significant changes to a manual, etc.)
Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/copyrights.html
Small changes can be accepted without a copyright assignment
form on file.
This is pretty confusing! If you are unsure of what is
necessary, just ask the GDB mailing list and we'll figure out
what is best for you.
Note: Many of these forms have a place for "name of
program". Insert the name of one program in that place -- in
this case, "GDB".

unlike some other projects, we do require ChangeLogs also for
documentation (i.e., .texi files).
The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository at:
Cygnus, use "cvs update; cvs diff -c3p"; else, use "diff -c3p
OLD NEW" or "diff -up OLD NEW". If your version of diff does
not support these options, then get the latest version of GNU
diff.
