The GNU Debugger GDB was updated to the 8.0.1 release, bringing
lots of features and bugfixes.
- Link gdb against a bundled libipt (processor trace
library) on x86_64 and i686 for improved tracing support
on Intel CPUs. [bsc#985550]
- Rebase to 8.0.1 release (fixing PR21886, PR22046)
- Updated libstdc++ pretty printers to gdb-libstdc++-v3-python-7.1.1-20170526.tar.bz2 .
- Add support for zSeries z14 specific features [fate#321514, bsc#1062315, fate#322272, bsc#1062318]
- Disable guile extensions for new distros, the gdb support
is incompatible with guile 2.2.
- Rebase to gdb 8.0 release: [fate#319573]
* support for DWARF5 (except its .debug_names)
* support C++11 rvalue references
* support PKU register (memory protection keys on future Intel CPUs)
* python scripting:
- start, stop and access running btrace
- rvalue references in gdb.Type
* record/replay x86_64 rdrand and rdseed
* removed support for GCJ compiled java programs
* user commands accept more than 10 arguments
* "eval" expands user-defined command arguments
* new options:
set/show disassembler-options (on arm, ppc s390)
- Update to gdb 7.12.1
* negative repeat count for x examines backwards
* fortran: support structs/arrays with dynamically types fields
* support MPX bound checking
* support for the Rust language
* 'catch syscall' now can catch groups of related syscalls
* New (sub)commands:
- skip {-file,-gfile,-function,-rfunction}: generic skip
mechanism
- maint {selftest,info line-table}
- new-ui: create new user interface for GUI clients
* (fast) tracepoints on s390x and ppc64le added to gdbserver
