architectures require kernel changes. TLS is not yet supported for
amd64 and i386 process core dumps.
-* Support for Pointer Authentication on AArch64 Linux.
+* Support for Pointer Authentication (PAC) on AArch64 Linux. Return
+ addresses that required unmasking are shown in the backtrace with the
+ postfix [PAC].
* Two new convenience functions $_cimag and $_creal that extract the
imaginary and real parts respectively from complex numbers.
** gdb.Objfile has new methods 'lookup_global_symbol' and
'lookup_static_symbol' to lookup a symbol from this objfile only.
+ ** gdb.Block now supports the dictionary syntax for accessing symbols in
+ this block (e.g. block['local_variable']).
+
* New commands
| [COMMAND] | SHELL_COMMAND
This allows to do formatted printing of strings without having
a running inferior, or when debugging a core dump.
+info sources [-dirname | -basename] [--] [REGEXP]
+ This command has now optional arguments to only print the files
+ whose names match REGEXP. The arguments -dirname and -basename
+ allow to restrict matching respectively to the dirname and basename
+ parts of the files.
+
show style
The "show style" and its subcommands are now styling
a style name in their output using its own style, to help
-past-main [on|off]
-past-entry [on|off]
+ ** The new "info sources" options -dirname and -basename options
+ are using the standard '-OPT' infrastructure.
+
All options above can also be abbreviated. The argument of boolean
(on/off) options can be 0/1 too, and also the argument is assumed
"on" if omitted. This allows writing compact command invocations,
