Subject: [PATCH] Document non-8-bits-addressable support in NEWS
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 20:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440620235-24006-1-git-send-email-simon.marchi@ericsson.com> (raw)
I think it would be a good idea to document that gdb now has (basic)
support to read/write memory on architectures with non-8-bits memory.
Hopefully somebody will see it and say "Hey! We can now (more easily)
port GDB to our strange DSP that has 32-bits-addressable memory!" and do
it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Document support for non-8-bits addressable memory.
