gdb (8.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Héctor Orón Martínez ]
* Imported Upstream version 8.1, changes in this release:
- Breakpoints on C++ functions are now set on all scopes by default
("wild" matching);
- Support for inserting breakpoints on functions marked with C++ ABI tags;
- Target floating-point arithmetic emulation during expression evaluation
(requires MPFR 3.1 or later);
- Various Python Scripting enhancements;
- Improved Rust support; in particular, Trait objects can now be inspected
when debugging Rust code;
- GDB no longer makes assumptions about the type of symbols without
debugging information to avoid producing erroneous and often confusing
results;
- The 'enable' and 'disable' commands now accept a range of breakpoint
locations;
- New 'starti' command to start the program at the first instruction;
- New 'rbreak' command to insert a number of breakpoints via a regular

the fields in a struct;
- The 'gcore' command now supports dumping all the memory mappings
('-a' command-line option);
- New shortcuts for TUI Single-Key mode: 'i' for stepi, and 'o' for nexti;
- GDBserver enhancements:
+ Support for transmitting environment variables to GDBserver;
+ Support for starting inferior processes with a specified initial
working directory;
+ On Unix systems, support for globbing expansion and variable
substitution of inferior command-line arguments;
- Various completion enhancements;
- The command used to compile and inject code with the 'compile' command
is now configurable;
- New '--readnever' command-line option to speed the GDB startup when
debugging information is not needed;
