Changelog
gdb (7.9-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* Imported Upstream version 7.9
- GDB 7.9 brings new targets, features and improvements, including:
+ Many improvements in GDB's Python scripting API.
+ Compilation and injection of source code into the inferior
(requires GCC 5.0 or higher built with libcc1.so).
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ Hardware watchpoint support on x86 GNU Hurd.
+ New target: MIPS SDE, mips*-sde*-elf*
+ New commands:
- 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
+ New options
- set debug symbol-lookup
- show debug symbol-lookup
+ MI changes
- 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.
* d/README.python_switch: fix typo. (Closes: #761688)
* Replace gdb64 packages by gdb multiarch. (Closes: #775948)
