95d5ceb921 0) Update descriptions of symbol-file, file, add-symbol-file cmds for use
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.

14d01801cc (1) GDB 4.5: another Grossman/Gilmore co-production!
(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.

d24e092258 (1) Document printmsyms; slight clarifications to description of printsyms,
printpsyms.
(2) Fix errors found by makeinfo.
(3) Initial docn for "info proc" and its subcommands.  Should probably
    be expanded somewhat after implementation complete.

6ca72cc661 .Sanitize: reflect removal of gdb-all.texi from repository
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)

a6d0b6d30f (1) At Bob Chassell's request, remove leading comments that used to
survive M4 filtering but still tell people the original source was
M4'd;

(2) Also for B.C., include one more emphasis font in @colophon at end;

(3) Thanks to J Gilmore, strengthen wording about unsupported
combinations of host-manufacturer-OS in config Appendix.

cf4964159d Surrounded table of renamed commands (version within @ifinfo) with
@example/@end example.  Without this it formatted fine by
texinfo-format-buffer in Emacs, but makeinfo insisted on paragraphing
it!

Also removed "gdb/" from in front of one instance of libiberty...

3d3ab54002 Last cleanups for release 3.98:
Minor typo and formatting fixes; incorporated most fixes remaining from
filed mail commenting on earlier drafts.

Added warnings: pipes don't work in run command;
	conditions are converse of assertions;
	step over fn without debug info goes to next fn;
	vars may have "wrong" values near fn entrance, exit

Added example from Kingston on printing repeated nonadjacent values

Added explicit mention that in Emacs gdb mode C-c and C-z are like
shell mode for signals

Improved installation directions in appendix, added manual formatting
instructions

Renamed "Stepping and Continuing" to "Continuing and Stepping" so it
doesn't sound so much like its parent "Stopping and Continuing"; also
moved entries on continue to top of section, so they don't get lost.

7463aadd5b (1) Applied some fixes due to comments from Larry Breed (easier ones
through chapsec 5.2)

(2) Eliminated use of @footnote---had my doubts about it anyways, and
it's broken in latest texinfo

(3) Introduced *some* use of [] for optional arguments, where
explanation is not simpler by listing cmd w arg and cmd w/out arg
separately.  Still not using @deffn.

(4) Dropped in GPL-2.  NOTE: one of GPL-2 or texinfo is broken; a
couple of headings are too long.  Need patches to texinfo or revision
to GPL-2.

8734fc33eb 1) moved author email addresses and manual version info back onto copyright
page (had crept onto front of title page w/ other stuff migrating between
gdb.texinfo and gdb.top-m4).

2) gdb.top-m4: added Detailed Node Listing to main menu.
               made $Id: for fragment into texinfo comment.

0e0fa7cea4 Move definition of \manvers back into gdb.texinfo (had been captured
in gdb.top-m4 when files were split), for continuity in version
numbering: the version of the manual is the version of the layout file.
