of *options* "-readnow" and "-mapped".
1) Change title/subtitle to come closer to text used by FSF when they
printed this thing (but still avoid silliness of having word "manual" in
the title).
2) First few minor corrections from most recent Chassell pass.
(2) Add fnf to GDB credits for SVr4 stuff. (Need to sift ChangeLog again for
more recent credits).
(3) document "mapped", "readnow" keywords (with file or symbol-file commands;
for now no mention of add-symbol-file in this context), -m and -mapped
cmd-line options, and associated explanations.
printpsyms.
(2) Fix errors found by makeinfo.
(3) Initial docn for "info proc" and its subcommands. Should probably
be expanded somewhat after implementation complete.
lucid.m4: config for Lucid/NCR (like "all.m4" but also turns on _LUCID__)
none.m4: turn _LUCID__ off by default
gdb.texinfo:
1) Use bold rather than italic for user input in intro, to avoid discord
with meta-variable convention throughout manual (jim@wrs.com suggestion).
2) Some mumbling about using GDB under Energize/Cadillac.
(conditionalized on _LUCID__, not included yet in general-doc config)
3) more remarks about debugging optimized code, incl vanishing unused vars
(rms/gnu/net suggestion).
4) @emph replaces @i in a few spots (emphasis should affect info file as
well as printed manual).
5) "memory tracing", "breakpoint on variable modification" index entries
added, pointing to watchpoints (gnu suggestion).
6) Less passive, more index entries, in breakpoint-number description
7) doc new convenience var $bpnum (due to grossman?)
8) Update "info breakpoints" to describe new Grossman format; note now
synonymous with "info watchpoints".
9) Describe negative (GDB internal) breakpoints and new "info all-breakpoints"
10) Slight change to description of colon-colon GDB expression notation,
describing function::var as well as file::var and noting var is static
(lmb question, gnu suggestion)
11) Doc Per's new &(&foo) for debugging C++
12) Rephrase paragraph in configure appendix to avoid overfull box
(in *large* format!)
13) Additional warning re VPATH feature required for --srcdir= config.
(gnu suggestion)
survive M4 filtering but still tell people the original source was
M4'd;
(2) Also for B.C., include one more emphasis font in @colophon at end;
(3) Thanks to J Gilmore, strengthen wording about unsupported
combinations of host-manufacturer-OS in config Appendix.
(1) repair refs to readline includes to use new shorter filenames
(2) provision for texi2roff conversion of doc via Makefile
(new targets: gdb.mm, gdb.me, gdb.ms).
@example/@end example. Without this it formatted fine by
texinfo-format-buffer in Emacs, but makeinfo insisted on paragraphing
it!
Also removed "gdb/" from in front of one instance of libiberty...
Minor typo and formatting fixes; incorporated most fixes remaining from
filed mail commenting on earlier drafts.
Added warnings: pipes don't work in run command;
conditions are converse of assertions;
step over fn without debug info goes to next fn;
vars may have "wrong" values near fn entrance, exit
Added example from Kingston on printing repeated nonadjacent values
Added explicit mention that in Emacs gdb mode C-c and C-z are like
shell mode for signals
Improved installation directions in appendix, added manual formatting
instructions
Renamed "Stepping and Continuing" to "Continuing and Stepping" so it
doesn't sound so much like its parent "Stopping and Continuing"; also
moved entries on continue to top of section, so they don't get lost.
through chapsec 5.2)
(2) Eliminated use of @footnote---had my doubts about it anyways, and
it's broken in latest texinfo
(3) Introduced *some* use of [] for optional arguments, where
explanation is not simpler by listing cmd w arg and cmd w/out arg
separately. Still not using @deffn.
(4) Dropped in GPL-2. NOTE: one of GPL-2 or texinfo is broken; a
couple of headings are too long. Need patches to texinfo or revision
to GPL-2.
page (had crept onto front of title page w/ other stuff migrating between
gdb.texinfo and gdb.top-m4).
2) gdb.top-m4: added Detailed Node Listing to main menu.

in gdb.top-m4 when files were split), for continuity in version
numbering: the version of the manual is the version of the layout file.
(By R. Pesch fiat).
instructions to "Targets" chapter for generic manuals, while
leaving them up front for manuals specific to specialized
environments; apply fixes from RMS comments through chapter 4.
Update stuff on option flags, full text, mention -help;
Better localization of target-specific stuff;
introduce 'path' command and discussion of exec path as opp src path;
document which commands don't repeat w RTN;
update and improve several examples, eg deleting (...)
Throughout: attempts to clarify etc.
(2) fix two bugs reported by Per Bothner;
(in markup for makeinfo)
(3) eliminate info structural information that can be generated
by texinfo-master-menu.
1a) Isolate Nindy-960 stuff into subsection of above, and expand it;
(2) Expand GDB-under-Emacs chapter;
(3) Minor cosmetics, including small free software blurb at front to
make RMS feel better about GPL moved to back.
document transmutation of add-file into sym-file and new meaning for
"load" (dynamic link/download, target-rel); document "info target" and
warn about similarity with "info targets"; document target strata rather
than stack; document "up-silently" and "down-silently"; add text about
when value history discarded.
gdb no longer prints the copyright and blurb if you specify a file
name to be debugged (just like Emacs). Add doc for Nindy-specific
command line flags for specifying target serial port and such.
Update copyright to 1991.
