*** Changes since GDB 7.12
-* GDB and GDBserver now require building with a C++ compiler.
+* GDB now supports access to the PKU register on GNU/Linux. The register is
+ added by the Memory Protection Keys for Userspace feature which will be
+ available in future Intel CPUs.
+
+* GDB now supports C++11 rvalue references.
+
+* Python Scripting
+
+ ** New functions to start, stop and access a running btrace recording.
+ ** Rvalue references are now supported in gdb.Type.
+
+* GDB now supports recording and replaying rdrand and rdseed Intel 64
+ instructions.
+
+* Building GDB and GDBserver now requires a C++11 compiler.
+
+ For example, GCC 4.8 or later.
It is no longer possible to build GDB or GDBserver with a C
compiler. The --disable-build-with-cxx configure option has been
removed.
+* Building GDB and GDBserver now requires GNU make >= 3.81.
+
+ It is no longer supported to build GDB or GDBserver with another
+ implementation of the make program or an earlier version of GNU make.
+
+* Native debugging on MS-Windows supports command-line redirection
+
+ Command-line arguments used for starting programs on MS-Windows can
+ now include redirection symbols supported by native Windows shells,
+ such as '<', '>', '>>', '2>&1', etc. This affects GDB commands such
+ as "run", "start", and "set args", as well as the corresponding MI
+ features.
+
* Support for thread names on MS-Windows.
GDB now catches and handles the special exception that programs
running on MS-Windows use to assign names to threads in the
debugger.
+* Support for Java programs compiled with gcj has been removed.
+
+* User commands now accept an unlimited number of arguments.
+ Previously, only up to 10 was accepted.
+
+* The "eval" command now expands user-defined command arguments.
+
+ This makes it easier to process a variable number of arguments:
+
+ define mycommand
+ set $i = 0
+ while $i < $argc
+ eval "print $arg%d", $i
+ set $i = $i + 1
+ end
+ end
+
+* Target descriptions can now describe registers for sparc32 and sparc64.
+
+* GDB now supports DWARF version 5 (debug information format).
+ Its .debug_names index is not yet supported.
+
+* New native configurations
+
+FreeBSD/mips mips*-*-freebsd
+
+
* New targets
Synopsys ARC arc*-*-elf32
+FreeBSD/mips mips*-*-freebsd
+
+* New commands
+
+flash-erase
+ Erases all the flash memory regions reported by the target.
+
+* New MI commands
+
+-target-flash-erase
+ Erases all the flash memory regions reported by the target. This is
+ equivalent to the CLI command flash-erase.
+
+-file-list-shared-libraries
+ List the shared libraries in the program. This is
+ equivalent to the CLI command "info shared".
+
+* New commands
+
+set disassembler-options
+show disassembler-options
+ Controls the passing of target specific information to the disassembler.
+ If it is necessary to specify more than one disassembler option then
+ multiple options can be placed together into a comma separated list.
+ The default value is the empty string. Currently, the only supported
+ targets are ARM, PowerPC and S/390.
*** Changes in GDB 7.12
* Fortran: Support structures with fields of dynamic types and
arrays of dynamic types.
+* The symbol dumping maintenance commands have new syntax.
+maint print symbols [-pc address] [--] [filename]
+maint print symbols [-objfile objfile] [-source source] [--] [filename]
+maint print psymbols [-objfile objfile] [-pc address] [--] [filename]
+maint print psymbols [-objfile objfile] [-source source] [--] [filename]
+maint print msymbols [-objfile objfile] [--] [filename]
+
* GDB now supports multibit bitfields and enums in target register
descriptions.
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts"
+* MI async record =thread-selected now includes the frame field. For example:
+
+ =thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",addr="0x00000000004007c0"}
+
* New targets
