GDB has had many bug fixes, particularly in the support of various remote targets.
Please note that, although the GDB version number is `4.14-95q4', the code is nearly identical to FSF GDB 4.15. There will be some differences, but they are minor, and this release has features, such as AIX 4.1 support, that are not in 4.15.
For the complete matrix of supported hosts vs. targets, see section Cygnus Developer's Kit: Progressive--95q4. Contact us at +1-800 CYGNUS-1 if you have any questions.
$_exitcode
There is a new convenience variable $_exitcode
that is set to the
value of the termination code returned when an inferior process exits.
quit
The quit
command now accepts an optional argument that is the error
code that GDB will return when it exits.
load
The load
command in the I960-NINDY configuration now runs much
faster.
set remotecache
off
to turn the data cache off.
H
and T
. See
`gdb/remote.c' for details.
--enable-netrom
If GDB is configured with --enable-netrom
, then it will include
support for the NetROM ROM emulator from XLNT Designs. The NetROM
acts as though it is a bank of ROM on the target board, but you can
write into it over the network. GDB's support consists only of
support for fast loading into the emulated ROM; to debug, you must use
another protocol, such as standard remote protocol. The usual
sequence is:
target nrom <netrom-hostname> load <prog> target remote <netrom-hostname>:1235
