Roland Pesch 6b51acad7e Assorted small improvements, mostly from FSF editing pass (Melissa). 1993-10-01 01:30:04 +00:00
Jim Kingdon 79bda3c7e8 * gdb.texinfo: Remove stuff about ar and 14 character filenames.
I believe this was fixed by the 13 Sep 89 change to print_frame_info.
	Also, modern versions of ar like BSD 4.4 or SVR4 don't have this bug.
1993-09-30 17:01:45 +00:00

Roland Pesch da374d8043 Repair bugs in conditionals, spotted by Zoo during "latest" build. 1993-07-19 19:04:24 +00:00
Roland Pesch 09934a2b2e Introduce MOD2 switch to segregate material on Modula-2; eventually
each supported language should be controlled by a separate switch, and CONLY
should be retired.
1993-07-17 01:57:50 +00:00
Jim Kingdon 958e954a58 * gdb.texinfo (Break Commands): Remove stuff about flushing terminal
input when evaluating breakpoint conditions; the bug has been fixed.

	* gdb.texinfo (Continuing and Stepping): Argument to "continue"
	sets the ignore count to N-1, not to N.
1993-07-06 17:43:51 +00:00
Roland Pesch d55320a07b * gdb.texinfo (Copying): delete this node and references to it;
RMS says this manual need not carry GPL. (passim): Improvements
from last round at FSF, largely due to Ian Taylor review, and
minor formatting improvements.

* gdbinv-s.texi (passim): Improvements from last round at FSF,
largely due to Ian Taylor review. (Debug Session): minor edits to
new text.
1993-06-16 19:03:53 +00:00
Jim Kingdon 361daf65ac * gdb.texinfo: Change accordingly. 1993-06-13 01:24:24 +00:00
Jim Kingdon 146212247c * gdb.texinfo (Print Settings): Move all stuff relating to symbolic
addresses together.  Also motivate the set print symbol-filename
	command and suggest other solutions.
1993-06-08 20:46:45 +00:00
Fred Fish 6edfa4877e * gdb.texinfo (set print elements): Note that the number of

1993-05-07 19:00:17 +00:00
Roland Pesch 75f844cce7 * gdb.texinfo (Shell Commands): do not mention SHELL env var in
DOSHOST configuration of manual.  (At least for the nonce, since
precisely how this works under DOS seems to depend on mysteries known
only to DJ Delorie, which are not easily fathomed from his source.)
1993-05-07 00:49:33 +00:00
Roland Pesch 572867a8c2 * gdb.texinfo (MIPS Stack): new node. 1993-05-07 00:07:58 +00:00

	.cshrc/.bashrc; (Invoking GDB) new MIPS Remote menu entry;
	(Remote) new MIPS Remote menu entry.
1993-05-06 23:48:43 +00:00

Roland Pesch a1eff6c2ed Changes thanks to Jim Kingdon's vigilance:
* doc/gdb.texinfo: make node "Shell Commands" unconditional;
	describe `set demangle-style arm' (not cfront);
	mention can type `q' to discard output, when gdb pages
1993-04-28 18:44:58 +00:00
Roland Pesch a64a6c2b7d gdbinv-s.texi, gdb.texinfo: include Hitachi SH target
gdb.texinfo: advance manual revision dates to present

gdbinv-s.texi, gdb.texinfo, all-config.texi, h8-config.texi:
stop using silly Roman numerals in @set variable names
1993-04-24 00:29:01 +00:00
Roland Pesch b0157555b6 (1) reduce the amount of text highlighted in warning at end of
"Program variables" section
(2) introduce a few blank lines in menus to work around remaining makeinfo bugs
1993-04-21 00:29:58 +00:00
Roland Pesch 51b65b7470 *-config.texi: introduce new switch GENERIC to describe text *only* for
(the usual) non-specialized versions of the manual.

gdb.texinfo: list of nonstandard init file names, with brief descriptions
             (permits closing PRMS gdb/2296).
1993-03-27 01:59:12 +00:00
Roland Pesch 1d7c3357dd 1. Update conditional markup:
(a) to make H8 configuration come out right (first attempt since
     conversion to texinfo conditionals);
 (b) to exploit yesterday's makeinfo bugfix, using conditionals in menus
     rather than multiple alternative menus.

2. Update H8 text to refer to H8/500 as well as H8/300.

3. Define config file gdb-config.texi as a link in Makefile, based on a
   DOC_CONFIG variable.

Roland Pesch fe715d06b6 misc updates 1993-02-10 02:28:16 +00:00
Roland Pesch 93928b60e5 Stylistic Cleanups to Headings and Cross References to Avoid Undue
Numbers of Capital Letters (Save in Chapter Headings), Despite the
Germanic Heritage of the English Language.
1993-02-02 22:59:46 +00:00
Roland Pesch 9aa964da87 More minor stylistic cleanup: avoid plurals on things that aren't English. 1993-02-02 21:44:11 +00:00
Roland Pesch 93918348e5 Minor stylistic cleanup; eliminated more contractions, eliminated
possessives on things (like name of GDB) that are not English, and
incidentals spotted while pursuing these.
1993-02-02 21:38:40 +00:00
Roland Pesch eb7faec1c3 * gdb.texinfo: fix capitalization in pointers to node "Output Formats" 1993-02-02 20:20:15 +00:00
Roland Pesch ed447b952e Fixes from (or inspired by) Bob Chassell editing pass for last
FSF printing of this manual.
1993-01-27 02:10:10 +00:00
Roland Pesch 18fae2a8db These changes abolish M4 preprocessing for the GDB manual.
Formatting these files now depends on the recently designed
Texinfo conditionals:  to format successfully, you must use very
recent versions (not yet distributed by FSF) of texinfo.tex and makeinfo.c.

The new Texinfo commands are @set, @clear, @ifset, @ifclear, and @value.
Recent texinfo-2 Beta distributions contained partial implementations.

texi2roff does not yet support these commands.

There are miscellaneous clean-ups to Makefile.in as well.

Roland Pesch 0f153e7446 More conditional markup so HMS (Hitachi) can have the configuration
of their dreams.
1992-09-21 17:27:34 +00:00
Roland Pesch 77fe54117e * doc/gdb.texinfo, doc/gdbinv-m.m4.in, doc/gdbinv-s.m4.in: first
pass at doc for two new remote targets---29K using UDI, and Tandem
	ST2000 using STDBUG.

Roland Pesch 0005054f6c Tue Aug 18 15:59:13 1992 Roland H. Pesch (pesch@fowanton.cygnus.com)
* gdbinv-s.m4.in: refrain from using @cartouche for just a few
	examples (not consistent w others).

	for generic vn of doc
1992-08-18 23:02:35 +00:00
Roland Pesch 6f28dd0bca Tue Aug 18 14:11:50 1992 Roland H. Pesch (pesch@fowanton.cygnus.com)

Roland Pesch 4eb4cf5705 Mon Aug 17 18:07:59 1992 Roland H. Pesch (pesch@fowanton.cygnus.com)
* gdb.texinfo, none.m4, h8.m4, gdbinv-s.m4.in: improve H8/300

John Gilmore 0d1cd01ebc * gdb.texinfo, refcard.tex: Document mult args on `info reg'.
* Makefile.in (refcard.ps, lrefcard.ps):  Add missing $(srdir).
1992-08-15 11:06:00 +00:00
Roland Pesch d48da190b5 (1) add disclaimer to config section of "Installing" appendix (this is
NOT full config doc) and xref to configure.info

(2) add brief mention of --help and --prefix=DIR configure options

(3) re-enable, with new command names, old doc for commands now
reorganized into maint.  (NO new doc yet for new maint commands or for
old undoc'd dump-me; nor for "maint" itself in general.)
1992-07-14 01:14:30 +00:00
Roland Pesch 6c380b13e6 First attempt at doc for general uses of quotes around symbols. 1992-07-11 03:08:13 +00:00
Roland Pesch 5a2c1d8583 (1) C and C++ treated as separate languages, not one as originally doc'd
(2) [temporarily, until "maint" details avail] hide explanations of commands
moved to "maint" so we don't risk releasing doc with obsolete names:
printsyms, printmsyms, printpsyms, info all-breakpoints.
1992-07-11 02:12:00 +00:00
Roland Pesch a6463583c2 New title "Debugging with GDB", the fruit of protracted delicate

w/C++ overloaded fns.

Roland Pesch 6a8cb0e75c (1) removed three-part table of config name components from Installing
appendix (too hard to maintain, esp w/recent versions of config.sub).
    Also corrected xref to this section accordingly.
(2) updated sample output from config.sub to match latest variation of
    that script
(3) minor editing to gnu contrib text on set/show remotedebug
1992-06-24 00:15:44 +00:00

John Gilmore 717b47f482 Typo 1992-06-09 02:38:11 +00:00
Roland Pesch 45c53080cc Tracking changes from Lucid: option formerly known as either
"-cadillac" or "-energize" is called "-context" now.
1992-06-02 00:48:46 +00:00
Roland Pesch 93ac5532df Removed RMS email address from inside cover page, at his request. 1992-05-19 21:22:10 +00:00
Roland Pesch a89f94c23a Thu May 14 17:09:48 1992 Roland H. Pesch (pesch@fowanton.cygnus.com)
* gdb.texinfo: slight expansion of new text on reading info files
	* gdbinv-s.m4.in: correct and expand info on cross-debugging
	H8/300 from DOS.

	* ChangeLog: guess...
1992-05-15 00:20:43 +00:00
John Gilmore 4768ba62b8 `info user' => `show user'. Noticed by David Taylor. 1992-05-12 19:23:32 +00:00
John Gilmore 3509545542 Say how to read the `info' files. 1992-05-12 02:10:59 +00:00
Roland Pesch 38962738d6 formatting improvements (already in progressive) 1992-05-06 04:49:50 +00:00
Roland Pesch b76626238c Fix typo in M4 macro name (prevented TeX formatting). 1992-05-05 22:51:53 +00:00
John Gilmore 77b46d1331 * gdb.texinfo: Update for GDB-4.5. Move `Formatting
Documentation' ahead of `Installing GDB' to match README.
Update shared library doc, -readnow and -mapped, and directory
structure (add glob and mmalloc).  Update configure doc.
1992-04-11 00:54:44 +00:00
Roland Pesch cc9bc574ec Updates to text on "info proc". 1992-04-06 23:40:23 +00:00
Roland Pesch 95d5ceb921 0) Update descriptions of symbol-file, file, add-symbol-file cmds for use
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.
1992-04-06 23:29:36 +00:00
Roland Pesch 14d01801cc (1) GDB 4.5: another Grossman/Gilmore co-production!
(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.
1992-03-14 00:07:37 +00:00
Roland Pesch d24e092258 (1) Document printmsyms; slight clarifications to description of printsyms,
printpsyms.
(2) Fix errors found by makeinfo.
(3) Initial docn for "info proc" and its subcommands.  Should probably
    be expanded somewhat after implementation complete.
1992-03-13 22:56:28 +00:00
Roland Pesch 6ca72cc661 .Sanitize: reflect removal of gdb-all.texi from repository
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)

Roland Pesch b80282d52a RELEASE 4.0 docn. (Recovered from GDB 4.0 distribution; intervening
versions lost by cvs over system crash).
1991-10-09 00:06:58 +00:00
Roland Pesch cf4964159d Surrounded table of renamed commands (version within @ifinfo) with
@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...
1991-08-01 00:02:27 +00:00
Roland Pesch 3d3ab54002 Last cleanups for release 3.98:
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.
1991-07-31 23:35:22 +00:00
Roland Pesch 54e6b3c33a Fixed a variety of small typos that prevented info from formatting cleanly;
altered too-long heading for GPL Appendix, as discussed w/RMS;
Changed date on cover to July 91.
1991-07-29 22:20:33 +00:00
Roland Pesch 7463aadd5b (1) Applied some fixes due to comments from Larry Breed (easier ones
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.
1991-07-27 00:49:54 +00:00
Roland Pesch 70b887611a (1) Re-incorporated former M4 fragments into this file; GNU m4 >=0.84

1991-07-25 19:35:27 +00:00
Roland Pesch 8734fc33eb 1) moved author email addresses and manual version info back onto copyright

gdb.texinfo and gdb.top-m4).

2) gdb.top-m4: added Detailed Node Listing to main menu.
               made $Id: for fragment into texinfo comment.
1991-07-24 01:43:47 +00:00
Roland Pesch 0e0fa7cea4 Move definition of \manvers back into gdb.texinfo (had been captured
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).
