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.

gdb.texinfo and gdb.top-m4).
2) gdb.top-m4: added Detailed Node Listing to main menu.
made $Id: for fragment into texinfo comment.
for either generic manual (material near back, in "targets"), or for special
cross-debugging manuals (material near front, in "invocation").
2) Allowed $Id: tag to appear as texinfo comment.
2) allowed $Id: tag to appear in post-M4 file by turning it into texinfo
rather than m4 comment;
3) Disabled @group where no longer supported by texinfo
* TODO: Document work needed on &fn and &array.
* printcmd.c (print_address_symbolic): New arg is the prefix
to print if a name is printed.
(print_address_demangle): Honor "set print address" now.
Use new arg above to improve spacing of output.
* valprint.c (val_print): When printing function pointers,
print symbolic form too.
* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_1): Use new print_address_symbolic.
* mips-pinsn.c (print_insn_arg 'd'): Print $ with reg name.
* mipsread.c (read_mips_symtab, read_the_mips_symtab,
parse_partial_symbols): Use newer BFD internals (external_filehdr
and external_aouthdr), byte-swap the fields that we care about
before using them, and make the file header data local to
read_the_mips_symtab rather than global.
* configure.in, Makefile.in: Avoid rebuilding "depend" as much.
Avoid declaring Makefile dependencies, because GNU Make stupidly
tries to update it if we do.
* coffread.c: Revise for minor changes to bfd internal coff
indexes.
* configure: If -template= is given a relative path, make it
absolute before recurring in subdirectories.
docn into separate sections---basically chapters, plus two loose
pieces that can be configured to go in different places. This
allows GNU m4 to preprocess the manual without coredumping.
* Makefile.dist: tell TeX where to find texinfo.
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.
(By R. Pesch fiat).
* main.c: Include with "..." form for non-system include files,
so "gcc -MM" for "make depend" works.
Include readline files with "...h" rather than <readline/...h>.
instructions to "Targets" chapter for generic manuals, while
leaving them up front for manuals specific to specialized
environments; apply fixes from RMS comments through chapter 4.
* pretex.m4: modify explanatory text slightly (and redefine
"regexp") to keep GNU m4 from complaining. (It still crashes
later, but one step at a time...)
stuff for config manual) here where it counts; updated
to use new subdir structure (gdb/doc/).
* Makefile: generated from above via
config.gdb none
before checkin
files, formatted from gdb.texinfo (via gdb-all.texinfo, see
Makefile)---but due to use of texinfo 2, can't count on makeinfo
to generate these, so we distribute them already formatted.
* gdb.texinfo: included full Info node and menu crud (as generated
by C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu using the texinfo-2 elisp code).
* Makefile: updated "gdb.dvi" target to use M4 preprocessor;
put in comments-for-future gdb.info target (one day makeinfo will
work again).
(2) Reorganized, bringing more common commands forward, merging
"print" and "x" into one section;
(3) New sections: "Essential Commands", "GDB Scripts";
(4) Material on convenience vars and value history added to "Expressions";
(5) Uses PostScript fonts by default, also includes (commented out) alternative
Computer Modern font definitions that format similarly.
* cplus-dem.c: Move CPLUS_MARKER define to after defs.h.
* infptrace.c (PT_WRITE_D, PT_READ_D): Use correct values.
(This still doesn't seem to make MIPS bkpts work.)
* mipsread.c: Remove dup "Reading symbol data..." msg.
(symbol_file_command, add_file_command): Remove, obsol.
* printcmd.c (ptype_command): Say "an enum" rather than "a enum".
Wrap output appropriately.

selected_frame rather than target_has_stack or coredumping.
* valprint.c (type_print_varspec_suffix): Wrap "ptype" output of
enums appropriately.

Update stuff on option flags, full text, mention -help;
Better localization of target-specific stuff;
introduce 'path' command and discussion of exec path as opp src path;
document which commands don't repeat w RTN;
update and improve several examples, eg deleting (...)
Throughout: attempts to clarify etc.
(2) fix two bugs reported by Per Bothner;
(in markup for makeinfo)
(3) eliminate info structural information that can be generated
by texinfo-master-menu.
1a) Isolate Nindy-960 stuff into subsection of above, and expand it;
(2) Expand GDB-under-Emacs chapter;
(3) Minor cosmetics, including small free software blurb at front to
make RMS feel better about GPL moved to back.

"load" (dynamic link/download, target-rel); document "info target" and

than stack; document "up-silently" and "down-silently"; add text about
