The layout for 'help set address|variable' is strange, e.g.: (gdb) help set style address style address List of show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity subcommands: show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity background -- Set the background color for this property show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity foreground -- Set the foreground color for this property show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity intensity -- Set the display intensity color for this property Type "help show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity" followed by show Address display styling Configure address colors and display intensity subcommand name for full documentation. Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word". Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous. (gdb) The help for 'set style function|filename' gives help for 'Show': (gdb) help set style filename Filename display styling Configure filename colors and display intensity. List of show style filename subcommands: show style filename background -- Set the background color for this property show style filename foreground -- Set the foreground color for this property show style filename intensity -- Set the display intensity color for this property The help for 'show style function|filename' is equally strange, as it speaks about commands, instead of sub commands: (gdb) help show style filename Filename display styling Configure filename colors and display intensity. List of commands: background -- Show the background color for this property foreground -- Show the foreground color for this property intensity -- Show the display intensity color for this property Type "help" followed by command name for full documentation. Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word". Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous. (gdb) This patch fixes all this. Note that the 'set style' and 'show style' have the same prefix_doc: (gdb) help show style Style-specific settings Configure various style-related variables, such as colors ... (gdb) help set style Style-specific settings Configure various style-related variables, such as colors ... Other similar commands (such as set|show history) have typically a more specific prefix: (gdb) help show history Generic command for showing command history parameters. ... (gdb) help set history Generic command for setting command history parameters. ... This could be fixed by having set_prefix_doc and show_prefix_doc instead of the single prefix_doc argument to cli_style_option::add_setshow_commands. That could be improved if deemed better. 2018-12-29 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * cli/cli-style.c (cli_style_option::add_setshow_commands): Initialize m_set_prefix with "set", instead of re-assigning m_show_prefix. Use m_set_prefix for set_list and m_show_prefix for show_list. (_initialize_cli_style): Correct the order of arguments in variable_name_style.add_setshow_commands and address_style.add_setshow_commands calls.
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.
