GDB 7.11.90 available for testing

GDB 7.11.90 available for testing

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello,

I have just finished creating the gdb-7.11.90 pre-release.
It is available for download at the following location:

    ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-7.11.90.tar.xz

A gzip'ed version is also available: gdb-7.11.90.tar.gz.

Please give it a test if you can and report any problems you might find.

On behalf of all the GDB contributors, thank you!

Building on MS-Windows natively with MinGW works fine.  Two minor
comments:

  . The merge with a newer Readline is still not done, sigh.  So I
    needeed to apply several patches again, to make a useful GDB.

  . The default compiler is now g++, but "configure --help" still says
    "--enable-build-with-cxx", which hints that it is by default
    disabled.  I suggest to update the --help text.

Thanks.

I don't see that in my builds.  Looking at print_gdb_configuration,
I can't see where that would be coming from either.  Do you have a
local patch, perhaps?

Thanks,

It's in gdb's configure:

$ ./gdb/configure --help
...
  --enable-build-with-cxx build with C++ compiler instead of C compiler
...


It should probably say:

  --disable-build-with-cxx build with C compiler instead of C++ compiler

Ah, for some reason I misread and understood that Eli was talking
about gdb --configuration.  Sorry about that.

Fine with me.  Guess I should amend my NEWS patch to talk about that
instead.

Thanks,

I have no local patches.  The gdb/configure script said "--enable".

Right, that was my suggestion.
