It is enabled by either selecting the TUI with the +command line option "-i=tui" or by running the separate "gdbtui" +program. For more information on the TUI, see the manual "Debugging +with GDB". + +* Pending breakpoint support (also included in GDB 6.1) + +Support has been added to allow you to specify breakpoints in shared +libraries that have not yet been loaded. If a breakpoint location +cannot be found, and the "breakpoint pending" option is set to auto, +GDB queries you if you wish to make the breakpoint pending on a future +shared-library load. If and when GDB resolves the breakpoint symbol, +the pending breakpoint is removed as one or more regular breakpoints +are created. + +Pending breakpoints are very useful for GCJ Java debugging. + +* Fixed ISO-C build problems + +The files bfd/elf-bfd.h, gdb/dictionary.c and gdb/types.c contained +non ISO-C code that stopped them being built using a more strict ISO-C +compiler (e.g., IBM's C compiler). + +* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5 + +Due to header problems with <sys/proc.h>, the file gdb/proc-api.c +wasn't able to compile compile on an IRIX 5 system. + +* Added execute permission to gdb/gdbserver/configure + +The shell script gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure lacked execute +permission.
