From 0a278aa7552de49be4816409a793c2403f6e87be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philippe Waroquiers Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2020 22:08:50 +0200 Subject: Fine tune exec-file-mismatch help and documentation. It was deemed better to explicitly mention in help and doc that build IDs are used for comparison, and that symbols are loaded when asking to load the exec-file. This is V2, fixing 2 typos and replacing 'If the user asks to load' by 'If the user confirms loading', as suggested by Pedro. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-07-11 Philippe Waroquiers * exec.c (_initialize_exec): Update exec-file-mismatch help. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2020-07-11 Philippe Waroquiers * gdb.texinfo (Attach): Update exec-file-mismatch doc. --- gdb/doc/ChangeLog | 4 ++++ gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'gdb/doc') diff --git a/gdb/doc/ChangeLog b/gdb/doc/ChangeLog index 0538115..3626adc 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/doc/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ +2020-07-11 Philippe Waroquiers + + * gdb.texinfo (Attach): Update exec-file-mismatch doc. + 2020-07-08 Hannes Domani * gdb.texinfo: Document Windows drive conversion of diff --git a/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo b/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo index 1514ff1..776c1ce 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo +++ b/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo @@ -3016,6 +3016,8 @@ by @value{GDBN} and the executable file used to start the process.
