*** Changes since GDB 6.8
+* GDB now has an interface for JIT compilation. Applications that
+dynamically generate code can create symbol files in memory and register
+them with GDB. For users, the feature should work transparently, and
+for JIT developers, the interface is documented in the GDB manual in the
+"JIT Compilation Interface" chapter.
+
* Tracepoints may now be conditional. The syntax is as for
breakpoints; either an "if" clause appended to the "trace" command,
or the "condition" command is available. GDB sends the condition to
with the `remote:' prefix, either via the `set sysroot' command or via
the `--with-sysroot' configure-time option.
+* "info sharedlibrary" now takes an optional regex of libraries to show,
+and it now reports if a shared library has no debugging information.
+
* Commands `set debug-file-directory', `set solib-search-path' and `set args'
now complete on file names.
* New options
+set spu stop-on-load
+show spu stop-on-load
+ Control whether to stop for new SPE threads during Cell/B.E. debugging.
+
+set spu auto-flush-cache
+show spu auto-flush-cache
+ Control whether to automatically flush the software-managed cache
+ during Cell/B.E. debugging.
+
set sh calling-convention
show sh calling-convention
Control the calling convention used when calling SH target functions.
-set print symbol-loading
-show print symbol-loading
- Control printing of symbol loading messages.
-
set debug timestamp
show debug timestamp
Control display of timestamps with GDB debugging output.
Allow GDB to resume all threads of all processes or only threads of
the current process.
+set stack-cache
+show stack-cache
+ Use more aggressive caching for accesses to the stack. This improves
+ performance of remote debugging (particularly backtraces) without
+ affecting correctness.
+
