Subject: [RFC] Deprecate dbx mode
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2022 10:04:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220303170425.467663-1-tromey@adacore.com> (raw)
GDB has a dbx emulation mode that adds a few aliases and helper
commands. This mode is barely documented and is very superficial
besides. I suspect it is rarely used, and I would like to propose
deprecating it for GDB 12, and then removing it in GDB 13.
