Bug #: 14502
Summary: Identify version
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: andre.poenitz@nokia.com
Classification: Unclassified
When implementing a gdb frontend one needs to stay aware of which versions of
gdb support a feature directly, for which there are workarounds, and which
won't work at all. For that it would be nice if the documentation for specific
options would contain a hint saying which is the first version of gdb
supporting that option. A short "(since 7.2)" or similar would be sufficient.
Right now it is seemingly needed to check out the source from git, find the
implementation of the option, git blame the file, and make an educated guess
based on the commit date. In the documentation of other projects that kind of
information is immediately available.
