The data cache could lead to incorrect results because +it doesn't know about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to +debug targets which use memory mapped I/O devices. `set remotecache +off' turns the the data cache off. -* New native configurations +* Remote targets may have threads -Microsoft NT and Microsoft Windows95 i[345]86-*-win32 +The standard remote protocol now includes support for multiple threads +in the target system, using new protocol commands 'H' and 'T'. See +gdb/remote.c for details. -* New Targets +* NetROM support -ARM via RDP protocol arm-*-* +If GDB is configured with `--enable-netrom', then it will include +support for the NetROM ROM emulator from XLNT Designs. The NetROM +acts as though it is a bank of ROM on the target board, but you can +write into it over the network. GDB's support consists only of +support for fast loading into the emulated ROM; to debug, you must use +another protocol, such as standard remote protocol. The usual +sequence is something like + + target nrom <netrom-hostname> + load <prog> + target remote <netrom-hostname>:1235 + +* Macintosh host + +GDB now includes support for the Apple Macintosh, as a host only. It +may be run as either an MPW tool or as a standalone application, and +it can debug through the serial port. All the usual GDB commands are +available, but to the target command, you must supply "serial" as the +device type instead of "/dev/ttyXX". See mpw-README in the main +directory for more information on how to build. The MPW configuration +scripts */mpw-config.in support only a few targets, and only the +mips-idt-ecoff target has been tested. + +* Autoconf + +GDB configuration now uses autoconf. This is not user-visible, +but does simplify configuration and building. + +* hpux10 + +Get now supports hpux10. *** Changes in GDB-4.14: |
