d48da190b5 (1) add disclaimer to config section of "Installing" appendix (this is
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.)

6c380b13e6 First attempt at doc for general uses of quotes around symbols. 1992-07-11 03:08:13 +00:00
Roland Pesch
5a2c1d8583 (1) C and C++ treated as separate languages, not one as originally doc'd
(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.

Roland Pesch
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.

printpsyms.
(2) Fix errors found by makeinfo.

    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)

  bootstrapN, from all but the bootstrappable tools.
* added check targets.
* removed any "Last Mod" lines.

228d9e5479 refcard.tex: single file now includes what were formerly three files, to suit
FSF preferences (format definitions, nee threecol.tex, and
             default font defs, nee rc-cm.tex, now both directly in this file).

lpsrc.sed, psrc.sed: alternate font defs, now sed scripts to modify refcard.tex

Makefile.in: use sed -f psrc.sed to produce refcard.ps target; new
             target lrefcard.ps for sites using long PS font names

Removed old auxiliary TeX files, no longer necessary with this scheme.
