Formatting these files now depends on the recently designed
Texinfo conditionals: to format successfully, you must use very
recent versions (not yet distributed by FSF) of texinfo.tex and makeinfo.c.
The new Texinfo commands are @set, @clear, @ifset, @ifclear, and @value.
Recent texinfo-2 Beta distributions contained partial implementations.
texi2roff does not yet support these commands.
There are miscellaneous clean-ups to Makefile.in as well.
pass at doc for two new remote targets---29K using UDI, and Tandem
ST2000 using STDBUG.
* doc/all.m4, doc/none.m4: new m4 switch, _ST2000__
* doc/all.m4: turn on H8/300 stuff for generic manual
* doc/gdb.texinfo: fix shameful error of agreement reported by
jimb@occs.cs.oberlin.edu (Jim Blandy)
* doc/gdb.texinfo: remove old partial discussion of remote serial
protocol (via serial debug stubs)
* doc/gdbinv-m.m4.in, doc/gdbinv-s.m4.in: new section discussing
use of serial debug stubs
* gdbinv-s.m4.in: refrain from using @cartouche for just a few
examples (not consistent w others).
gdb.texinfo: issue disclaimer paragraph on cmdline options only
for generic vn of doc
* gdb.texinfo, none.m4, h8.m4, gdbinv-s.m4.in: improve H8/300
conditionals; introduce a few generic switches that may be
useful for other cross-dev or dos-hosted configs.
* gdb.texinfo: fix typo in "info reg" description
NOT full config doc) and xref to configure.info
(2) add brief mention of --help and --prefix=DIR configure options
(3) re-enable, with new command names, old doc for commands now
reorganized into maint. (NO new doc yet for new maint commands or for
old undoc'd dump-me; nor for "maint" itself in general.)
(2) [temporarily, until "maint" details avail] hide explanations of commands
moved to "maint" so we don't risk releasing doc with obsolete names:
printsyms, printmsyms, printpsyms, info all-breakpoints.
appendix (too hard to maintain, esp w/recent versions of config.sub).
Also corrected xref to this section accordingly.
(2) updated sample output from config.sub to match latest variation of
that script
(3) minor editing to gnu contrib text on set/show remotedebug
* gdb.texinfo: slight expansion of new text on reading info files
* gdbinv-s.m4.in: correct and expand info on cross-debugging
H8/300 from DOS.
* ChangeLog: guess...
Documentation' ahead of `Installing GDB' to match README.
Update shared library doc, -readnow and -mapped, and directory
structure (add glob and mmalloc). Update configure doc.
of *options* "-readnow" and "-mapped".
1) Change title/subtitle to come closer to text used by FSF when they
printed this thing (but still avoid silliness of having word "manual" in
the title).
2) First few minor corrections from most recent Chassell pass.
(2) Add fnf to GDB credits for SVr4 stuff. (Need to sift ChangeLog again for
more recent credits).
(3) document "mapped", "readnow" keywords (with file or symbol-file commands;
for now no mention of add-symbol-file in this context), -m and -mapped
cmd-line options, and associated explanations.
printpsyms.
(2) Fix errors found by makeinfo.
(3) Initial docn for "info proc" and its subcommands. Should probably
be expanded somewhat after implementation complete.
lucid.m4: config for Lucid/NCR (like "all.m4" but also turns on _LUCID__)
none.m4: turn _LUCID__ off by default
gdb.texinfo:
1) Use bold rather than italic for user input in intro, to avoid discord
with meta-variable convention throughout manual (jim@wrs.com suggestion).
2) Some mumbling about using GDB under Energize/Cadillac.
(conditionalized on _LUCID__, not included yet in general-doc config)
3) more remarks about debugging optimized code, incl vanishing unused vars
(rms/gnu/net suggestion).
4) @emph replaces @i in a few spots (emphasis should affect info file as
well as printed manual).
5) "memory tracing", "breakpoint on variable modification" index entries
added, pointing to watchpoints (gnu suggestion).
6) Less passive, more index entries, in breakpoint-number description
7) doc new convenience var $bpnum (due to grossman?)
8) Update "info breakpoints" to describe new Grossman format; note now
synonymous with "info watchpoints".
9) Describe negative (GDB internal) breakpoints and new "info all-breakpoints"
10) Slight change to description of colon-colon GDB expression notation,
describing function::var as well as file::var and noting var is static
(lmb question, gnu suggestion)
11) Doc Per's new &(&foo) for debugging C++
12) Rephrase paragraph in configure appendix to avoid overfull box
(in *large* format!)
13) Additional warning re VPATH feature required for --srcdir= config.
(gnu suggestion)
