I proposed deprecating gdb's dbx mode for gdb 12, and then removing it in gdb 13: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186306.html Pedro suggested I mention that here. My view is that dbx mode was always pretty superficial -- it just adds some aliases and doesn't really try to emulate dbx -- and probably largely unused. It's never been well-documented. Tom
