Binutils with MCST patches
Go to file
Philippe Waroquiers 1f6f6e21fa Ensure GDB printf command can print convenience var strings without a target.
Without this patch, GDB printf command calls malloc on the target,
writes the convenience var content to the target,
re-reads the content from the target, and then locally printf the string.

This implies inferior calls, and does not work when there is no running
inferior, or when the inferior is a core dump.

With this patch, printf command can printf string convenience variables
without inferior function calls.
Ada string convenience variables can also be printed.

gdb/ChangeLog
2019-07-08  Philippe Waroquiers  <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>

	* NEWS: Mention that GDB printf and eval commands can now print
	C-style and Ada-style convenience var strings without
	calling the inferior.
	* printcmd.c (printf_c_string): Locally print GDB internal var
	instead of transiting via the inferior.
	(printf_wide_c_string): Likewise.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
