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)
checked in earlier. These are Makefiles relevant to the progressive
release currently in progress.
* added exec_prefix
* default bindir now exec_prefix/bin
* default libdir now exec_prefix/lib
* default mandir now prefix/man
* default infodir now prefix/info
* added oldincludedir, default NULL
* remove all traces of the old -subdirs and -namesubdir support,
including code, for loops, and all subdir/unsubdir stuff.
* remove old style staging targets {de-}stage[1234], comparison,
bootstrapN, from all but the bootstrappable tools.
* added check targets.
* removed any "Last Mod" lines.
* forced copyrights to '92 and shifted some from Cygnus to FSF.
* added tooldir and program_prefix where needed.
* updated texinfo and man pages, removed all references to multiple
hosts or targets.
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.
- remove inappropriate use of unsubdir (worked only accidentally)
- make gdbVN.m4 generation work from remote objdir too;
- fix bug in handling of readline appendices for roff translations
- let GDB internals have the right val of TEXINPUTS for remote format, too
* Makefile.in: remove spaces following hyphens, bsd make can't
cope. install using INSTALL_DATA. added clean-info. added
standards.text support.
Thu Dec 5 22:46:12 1991 K. Richard Pixley (rich at rtl.cygnus.com)
* Makefile.in: idestdir and ddestdir go away. Added copyrights
and shift gpl to v2. Added ChangeLog if it didn't exist. docdir
and mandir now keyed off datadir by default.
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.
