GDB in CVS!

[Stan Shebs <shebs@cygnus.com>]

I'm pleased to announce the availability of GDB sources via anonymous
CVS, hosted on sourceware.cygnus.com.  As of yet, only the 4.18
release has been imported; I'll import another snapshot in a couple days,
then there will be some history to look at. :-)  For the time being, it
will be read-only, but eventually I'd like to have some non-Cygnus
maintainers doing checkins themselves.

Here's how you use it:

	cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.cygnus.com:/cvs/gdb login
	{enter "anoncvs" as the password}
	cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.cygnus.com:/cvs/gdb co gdb

Please let me know asap if anything goes wrong with this.  Have fun!

								Stan

(For you two or three non-fans of CVS :-), I plan to continue making
snapshots as well.)

Rats.

The round of optimizations we performed on configure.host didn't
make it to configure.tgt.   So SVR5 gets detected as SVR4.0 so it
gets /proc filesystem handling silently wrong. :-(

I posit that all Unixwares were SVR4.2 based and there were no 4.2's
that weren't also 4.2MP.   

Anybody that is still running the (never officially released and
probably 6 or 7 years old) SVR4.1/ES or SVR4.1/MP products on x86s
deserves anguish anyway...

If you aren't brave enough to optimize the redundant UW and 4.2*
combinations away, at least pleast add the line that treats sysv5* 
as i386v42mp.

Thanx,

Hi

This inquiry is with respect to our kernel-related project
task for remote debugging.  I am sending it to both hurd and
gdb maintainers because it seems relevant to each.

If you would like to correspond directly with the volunteer,
that is fine.  If you would like me to convey any message,
I would also be happy to do that.  If you would prefer that
I just stop forwarding volunteers to you, please just ignore
this email - I will get the message.

Jim

Found a bug in gdb.  This seems to be the correct fix.  (I give the
code unconditionally to the FSF for what ever they wish to do with
it..., yadda, yadda, yadda).  It does not seem to warrant much
fanfare. 

Changelog entry:
  Fixed a bug where the typevec_size was not being reset to zero after
  the typevec itself had been reset.
