+ * valops.c (value_assign): Returned value is never lazy. If a
+ C++ class type is returned, fix incorrect enclosing type / embedded
+ offset. If internal variable is returned, allocate new internalvar
+ value using value_of_internalvar.
+
+ * NEWS: Document changes in behavior of "print x = 0" and similar
+ expressions.

feature requires proper debuginfo support from the compiler; it
was added to GCC 4.5.
+* GDB now follows GCC's rules on accessing volatile objects when
+ reading or writing target state during expression evaluation.
+ One notable difference to prior behavior is that "print x = 0"
+ no longer generates a read of x; the value of the assignment is
+ now always taken directly from the value being assigned.
+
* GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
linespecs. For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
execution to a label.
