[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gdb-7.10.1-1 (TEST)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gdb-7.10.1-1 (TEST)

[Jon Turney]

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

* gdb-7.10.1-1

The GNU debugger allows you to debug programs written in C, C++, an 
other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion and printing 
their data.

This is an update to the latest upstream version.  See the 
/usr/share/doc/gdb/NEWS file for a list of user-visible changes.

In addition, it contains the following patches carried forward from the 
previous Cygwin package:

* Teach the demangler to deal with '@'-decorated __stdcall functions
* Various fixes for Cygwin signal handling
* (experimental) Teach gdb how to unwind frames for the Cygwin signal 
delivery wrapper functions _sigbe and sigdelayed

and the following new patches:

* Warn rather than stopping with an error if realpath() for a DLL fails
(Tim Chick)
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-08/msg00401.html
* Fix a memory leak which would occur in the case when the result of 
realpath() is greater than or equal to SO_NAME_MAX_PATH_SIZE (Corinna 
Vinschen)

known issues:

There seems to be a regression since 7.8, apparently due to gdb core 
changes, where gdb experiences an internal error when attempting to 
single-step in one thread as another thread receives a SIGCHLD.

Does this version contain the fix that was discussed here a few months
ago for gdb arbitrarily starting extra threads, preventing stepping,
continuing, etc.?  (See the discussion containing
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-06/msg00321.html for context.)

It includes the patch from [1] which that thread eventually leads to

I hope that fixes your issue, but I can't test that.

Great, thanks.  I'll give it a try as soon as it gets to my usual
mirror (wasn't there yet when I checked earlier).
