The first non-flag argument is always +a program to debug, but the second non-flag argument may either +be a corefile or a process id. Previously, GDB would attempt to +open the second argument as a corefile, and if that failed, would +issue a superfluous error message and then attempt to attach it as +a process. Now, if the second argument begins with a non-digit, +it will be treated as a corefile. If it begins with a digit, +GDB will attempt to attach it as a process, and if no such process +is found, will then attempt to open it as a corefile. + * New native configurations x86 OpenBSD i[3456]86-*-openbsd* |
