-GDB 7.9.1 brings the following fixes and enhancements over GDB 7.9:
+GDB 7.10 brings new targets, features and improvements, including:
- * PR build/18033 (C++ style comment used in gdb/iq2000-tdep.c and
- gdb/compile/compile-*.c)
- * PR build/18298 ("compile" command cannot find compiler if tools
- configured with triplet instead of quadruplet)
- * PR tui/18311 (Random SEGV when displaying registers in TUI mode)
- * PR python/18299 (exception when registering a global pretty-printer
- in verbose mode)
- * PR python/18066 (argument "word" seems broken in Command.complete
- (text, word))
- * PR pascal/17815 (Fix pascal behavior for class fields with testcase)
- * PR python/18285 (ptype expr-with-xmethod causes SEGV)
+ * Improved support for accessing shared libraries directly from
+ the target system when debugging remotely.
-GDB 7.9 brings new targets, features and improvements, including:
+ * Various Guile and Python scripting improvements, including (but not
+ limited to):
- * Many improvements in GDB's Python scripting API.
+ ** Support for auto-loading Python/Guile scripts contained
+ in a special section named `.debug_gdb_scripts'.
- * Compilation and injection of source code into the inferior
- (requires GCC 5.0 or higher built with libcc1.so).
+ ** Support for writing a frame unwinder in Python.
- * On resume, GDB now always passes the signal the program had stopped
- for to the thread the signal was sent to, even if the user changed
- threads before resuming. Previously GDB would often (but not
- always) deliver the signal to the thread that happens to be current
- at resume time.
+ * Support for record-replay and reverse debugging on Aarch64 Linux.
- * Conversely, the "signal" command now consistently delivers the
- requested signal to the current thread. GDB now asks for
- confirmation if the program had stopped for a signal and the user
- switched threads meanwhile.
+ * GDB now has support for fork events on extended-remote Linux targets
+ (Linux kernels 2.5.60 and later).
- * Hardware watchpoint support on x86 GNU Hurd.
+ * Support for DTrace USDT (Userland Static Defined Tracing) probes
+ on x86_64 GNU/Linux targets.
- * New target
+ * Vector ABI support on S/390 GNU/Linux targets.
- ** MIPS SDE mips*-sde*-elf*
+ * GDB now reads the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable rather than
+ HISTSIZE to determine the size of GDB's command history.
- * New commands
+ * Support for setting the parity when connecting to the target
+ using a serial interface.
- ** add-auto-load-scripts-directory directory
- ** compile code [-r|-raw] [--] [source code]
- ** compile file [-r|-raw] filename
- ** demangle [-l language] [--] name
- ** maint print user-registers
- ** queue-signal signal-name-or-number
+ * It is now possible to limit the number of candidates to be
+ considered during completion.
- * New options
+ * Support for Sun's version of the "stabs" debug file format
+ has been removed.
- ** set debug symbol-lookup
- ** show debug symbol-lookup
+ * Support for the following targets and native configurations has
+ been removed:
- * MI changes
+ ** HP/PA running HP-UX (hppa*-*-hpux*)
+ ** Itanium running HP-UX (ia64-*-hpux*)
- ** New exit-code field in -list-thread-groups command output
-
- * Support for these obsolete configurations has been removed.
-
- ** Alpha running OSF/1 (or Tru64) alpha*-*-osf*
- ** SGI Irix-5.x mips-*-irix5*
- ** SGI Irix-6.x mips-*-irix6*
- ** VAX running (4.2 - 4.3 Reno) BSD vax-*-bsd*
- ** VAX running Ultrix vax-*-ultrix*
-
- * The "dll-symbols" command, and its two aliases ("add-shared-symbol-files"
- and "assf"), have been removed. Use the "sharedlibrary" command, or
- its alias "share", instead.
+ Support for the "-xdb" command-line switch (HP-UX XDB compatibility
+ mode) has also been removed.
