274862ad9e Default rdl-apps.texinfo, for people who don't think to use the
Makefile; this one will work if this dir is in the default relative position
to the readline directory in the GNU libraries-and-includes distribution.

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.

54e6b3c33a Fixed a variety of small typos that prevented info from formatting cleanly;
altered too-long heading for GPL Appendix, as discussed w/RMS;
Changed date on cover to July 91.

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.

cross-debugging manuals (material near front, in "invocation").

1991-07-24 01:36:11 +00:00
