In particular: + - Debugging threaded applications is now possible again. Previously, + GDB would hang while starting the program, or while waiting for + the program to stop at a breakpoint. + - Attaching to a running process no longer hangs. + - An error occurring while loading a core file has been fixed. + - Changing the value of the PC register now works again. This fixes + problems observed when using the "jump" command, or when calling + a function from GDB, or even when assigning a new value to $pc. + - With the "finish" and "return" commands, the return value for functions + returning a small array is now correctly printed. + - It is now possible to break on shared library code which gets executed + during a shared library init phase (code executed while executing + their .init section). Previously, the breakpoint would have no effect. + - GDB is now able to backtrace through the signal handler for + non-threaded programs. + *** Changes in GDB 7.0 * GDB now has an interface for JIT compilation.
