Recent Releases

15.109 Jul 2024 03:05 minor feature: Building GDB and GDBserver now requires a C++17 compiler (for instance, GCC 9 or later). Enhanced Python support.. New function gdb.notify_mi(NAME, DATA), that emits custom GDB/MI async notification. New read/write attribute gdb.Value.bytes that contains a bytes. Object holding the contents of this value. New module gdb.missing_dethat facilitates dealing with. Objfiles that are missing any deinformation. New function gdb.missing_de.register_handler that can register an instance of a sub-class of gdb.missing_de.MissingDeInfo as a handler for objfiles that are missing deinformation. New class gdb.missing_de.MissingDeInfo which can be. Sub-classed to create handlers for objfiles with missing de information. Stop events now have a "details" attribute that holds a. Dictionary that carries the same information as an MI "*stopped" Event. New function gdb.interrupt(), that interrupts GDB as if the user. Typed control-c. New gdb.InferiorThread.ptid_string attribute. This read-only. Attribute contains the string that appears in the 'Target Id' Column of the 'info threads' command output. It is no longer possible to create new gdb.Progspace object using. gdb.Progspace()', this will result in a TypeError. Progspace. Objects can still be obtained through calling other API Functions, for example 'gdb.current_progspace()'. User defined attributes can be added to a gdb.Inferior object. These will be stored in the object's new Inferior.__dict__ Attribute. User defined attributes can be added to a gdb.InferiorThread. Object, these will be stored in the object's new InferiorThread.__dict__ attribute. New constants gdb.SYMBOL_TYPE_DOMAIN, gdb.SYMBOL_FUNCTION_DOMAIN. And gdb.SEARCH_*_DOMAIN Deger Adapter Protocol changes.. GDB now emits the "process" event. GDB now supports the "cancel" request. The "attach" request now supports specifying the program. New command "set dedap-log-level" controls DAP logging. Remote protocol.. New stop reason: clone. QThreadOptions in qSupported. New r

GDB/MI version 1 support has been removed. Initial built-in support for Deger Adapter Protocol (DAP). GDB now recognizes the NO_COLOR environment variable. Initial support for integer types larger than 64 bits. Breakpoints can now be inferior-specific. New convenience function " _shell", to execute a shell command and. Return its result. Python support.. New class gdb.Thread. New class gdb.unwinder.FrameId. New class gdb.ValuePrinter. New gdb.Inferior.arguments attribute, holding the command-line. Arguments to the inferior, if known New gdb.Inferior.main_name attribute, holding the name of. The inferior's 'main', if known. New gdb.Breakpoint.inferior attribute. New gdb.Progspace.symbol_file attribute. New gdb.Progspace.executable_filename attribute. New function gdb.execute_mi(COMMAND, ARG ...). New function gdb.block_signals().

New event gdb.NewProgspaceEvent. New event gdb.FreeProgspaceEvent. The frame-id passed to gdb.PendingFrame.create_unwind_info. Now use either an integer or a gdb.Value object for each of its sp', 'pc', and 'special' attributes. The Disassembler API from the gdb.disassembler module has been. Extended to include styling support gdb.parse_and_eval now has a new "global_context" parameter. Allowing the request to only examine global symbols. The name argument passed to gdb.unwinder.Unwinder.__init__ m
11.113 Sep 2021 03:25 minor feature: Support for ARM Symbian (arm*-*-symbianelf*) has been removed. Building GDB now requires GMP (The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library). New command-line options "--early-init-command" (or "-eix"). And "--early-init-eval-command" (or "-eiex") GDB/MI Changes: New --qualified option for the '-break-insert' and '-dprintf-insert'. Commands. New --force-condition option for the '-break-insert' and. dprintf-insert' commands. New --force option for the '-break-condition' command. The '-file-list-exec-source-files' now accepts an optional regular. Expression to filter the source files included in the result. The results from '-file-list-exec-source-files' now include a 'de-fully-read' field to indicate if the corresponding. Source's deging information has been partially read (false) or has been fully read (true). TUI Improvements: Mouse actions are now supported. The mouse wheel scrolls. The appropriate window. Key combinations that do not have a specific action on the. Focused window are now passed to GDB. Python enhancements: Inferior objects now contain a read-only 'connection_num' attribute that. Gives the connection number as seen in 'info connections' and info inferiors'. New method gdb.Frame.level() which returns the stack level of the. Frame object. New method gdb.PendingFrame.level() which returns the stack level of the frame object. When hitting a catchpoint, the Python API will now emit a. Gdb.BreakpointEvent rather than a gdb.StopEvent. The Gdb.Breakpoint attached to the event will have type BP_CATCHPOINT. Python TUI windows can now receive mouse click events. If the Window object implements the click method, it is called for each. Mouse click event in this window. New setting "python ignore-environment on off"; if "on", causes GDB's builtin Python to ignore any environment variable that would. Otherwise affect how Python behaves (needs to be set during early initialization" (see above). New setting "python dont-write-bytecode auto on off". Guile API enh
