See the "PowerPC Embedded" + section in the user manual for more details. + * The new option --once causes GDBserver to stop listening for connections once the first connection is made. The listening port used by GDBserver will become available after that. +* Changed commands + +watch EXPRESSION mask MASK_VALUE + The watch command now supports the mask argument which allows creation + of masked watchpoints, if the current architecture supports this feature. + *** Changes in GDB 7.3 * GDB has a new command: "thread find [REGEXP]". |
