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.
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
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).
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...)
(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.
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.
document transmutation of add-file into sym-file and new meaning for
"load" (dynamic link/download, target-rel); document "info target" and
warn about similarity with "info targets"; document target strata rather
than stack; document "up-silently" and "down-silently"; add text about
when value history discarded.
gdb no longer prints the copyright and blurb if you specify a file
name to be debugged (just like Emacs). Add doc for Nindy-specific
command line flags for specifying target serial port and such.
Update copyright to 1991.
