Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2016 02:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160601020154.048FE428D3@joel.gnat.com> (raw)
GDB 7.11.1 released!
Release 7.11.1 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available via anonymous
FTP. GDB is a source-level debugger for Ada, C, C++, Objective-C,
Pascal and many other languages. GDB can target (i.e., debug programs
running on) more than a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB
itself can run on most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows
variants.
You can download GDB from the GNU FTP server in the directory:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb

There is a web page for GDB at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
That page includes information about GDB mailing lists (an announcement
mailing list, developers discussion lists, etc.), details on how to
access GDB's source repository, locations for development snapshots,
preformatted documentation, and links to related information around
the net. We will put errata notes and host-specific tips for this release
on-line as any problems come up. All mailing lists archives are also
browsable via the web.
GDB 7.11.1 brings the following fixes and enhancements over GDB 7.10:
* PR remote/19863 (7.10 regression: gdb remote.c due to "setfs" with
gdbserver < 7.7)
* PR gdb/19829 (gdb crashes with PT and reverse next)
* PR gdb/19676 (gdb fails with assert error if /proc is not mounted)
* PR gdb/19828 (7.11 regression: non-stop gdb -p <process from a
container>: internal error)
* PR remote/19840 (gdb crashes on reverse-stepi)
* PR gdb/19858 (GDB doesn't register the JIT libraries on attach)
* PR gdb/19958 (Breakpoints/watchpoints broken on MIPS Linux <= 4.5)
* PR build/20029 (symfile.c ambiguous else warning)
* PR python/20037 (GDB use-after-free error)
* PR gdb/20039 (Using MI/all-stop, can't interrupt multi-threaded
program after continue)
GDB 7.11 brings new features and improvements, including:
* Per-inferior thread numbers (thread numbers are now per inferior instead
of being global).
* GDB now allows users to specify breakpoint locations using a more
explicit syntax (named "explicit location"). This feature is also
available in GDB/MI.
* New convenience variables ($_gthread, $_inferior)
* When hitting a breakpoint or receiving a signal while debugging a
multi-threaded program, the debugger now shows which thread triggered
the event.
* Record btrace now supports non-stop mode.
* Various improvements on AArch64 GNU/Linux
** Multi-architecture debugging support
** displaced stepping
** tracepoint support added in GDBserver
* kernel-based threads support on FreeBSD.
* Support for reading/writing memory and extracting values on architectures
whose memory is addressable in units of any integral multiple of 8 bits.
* In Ada, the overloads selection menu provides the parameter types and
return types for the matching overloaded subprograms.
* Various remote protocol improvements, including several new packets
which can be used to support features such as follow-exec-mode, exec
catchpoints, syscall catchpoints, etc.
* Some minor improvements in the Python API for extending GDB.
* Support for various ROM monitors has been removed:
target dbug dBUG ROM monitor for Motorola ColdFire
target picobug Motorola picobug monitor
target dink32 DINK32 ROM monitor for PowerPC
target m32r Renesas M32R/D ROM monitor
target mon2000 mon2000 ROM monitor
target ppcbug PPCBUG ROM monitor for PowerPC
For a complete list and more details on each item, please see the
gdb/NEWS file.
