3 * dwarfread.c: New file for DWARF debugging format support.
4
5 * elfread.c: New file for ELF object file format support.
6
7 * procfs.c: New file for SVR4 /proc (process file system) support.
8
9 * tm-amix.h, xm-amix.h, tconfig/amix, xconfig/amix: New files for
10 Amiga UNIX support.
11
12 * xm-svr4.h, tm-svr4.h: New files for SVR4 support.
13
14 * xm-m68k.h: New file for host machines with m68k cpu.
15

FF
16 * Makefile.in: Add elfread.c and dwarfread.c to SFILES_MAINDIR.
17 Add elfread.o and dwarfread.o to OBS.
18
19 * symfile.h: Add "elf" to list of supported formats in comment.
20

FF
21 * c-exp.y, defs.h, symtab.h, valprint.c: Add three new builtin
22 types to gdb, builtin_type_long_double, builtin_type_complex, and
23 builtin_type_double_complex. Add and use new TARGET_SHORT_BIT,
24 TARGET_INT_BIT, TARGET_LONG_BIT, TARGET_FLOAT_BIT,
25 TARGET_DOUBLE_BIT, TARGET_LONG_DOUBLE_BIT, TARGET_COMPLEX_BIT, and
26 TARGET_DOUBLE_COMPLEX_BIT, as the sizes in bits of the indicated
27 types on the target machine (ala the existing TARGET_LONG_LONG_BIT).

FF
29 * infrun.c: When using SVR4 /proc interface instead of ptrace(),
30 call proc_set_exec_trap() to setup child to stop at first instruction.
31
32 * inftarg.c: When using SVR4 /proc interface, call proc_wait()
33 rather than wait().
34
35 * m68k-tdep.c: Add new routines supply_gregset(), fill_gregset(),
36 supply_fpregset(), and fill_fpregset(), which are machine
37 dependent support routines for SVR4 /proc interface.
38
2bc2e684
FF
39 * utils.c: Add warning_setup() and warning(). Warning() behaves
40 the same as error() except that it returns normally rather than
41 jumping back to command level. Modules that don't want to call
42 warning() for some reason, but want to produce their own warnings,
43 can call warning_setup() to ensure compatibility with the way
44 warning() and error() deal with the terminal.
45

FF
46 * symtab.c: Make internal errors produce more useful messages.
47
dcd15e5e
FF
48 * tm-68k.h: Move code that is duplicated in almost every single
49 m68k based machine's configuration files to this common file.
50 Duplications in the configuration files still need to be removed
51 (FIXME).
52
150f5436
FF
53 * infrun.c (child_create_inferior): System V versions must call
54 setpgrp() with no arguments, to comply with prototyping typically
55 in <unistd.h>.
56

FF
57 * munch: Add support for SVR4 style nm output.
58
4a35d6e9
FF
59 * dbxread.c, mipsread.c symmisc.c, symtab.c: Remove the object
60 file specific fields from the partial symbol table structure and
61 replace them with a pointer to private data for each different
62 flavor of object file reader to initialize appropriately.

67 find_pc_line.

71 * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): fix stepi/nexti that was broken
72 by my last edit to this routine.

86 Pass .reg virtual memory address to fetch_core_registers to help
87 it find the registers in the core-file header.
88 * coredep.c (fetch_core_registers): Take new argument, use it,
89 and pass it to register_addr to locate the block of registers.
785ce19c 90 * xm-mips.h: Update KERNEL_U_ADDR for new scheme. Cleanup a bit.

94
