Subject: [rfa] NEWS updates for HEAD
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 22:41:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061128224123.GE2142@nevyn.them.org> (raw)

This is everything I saw which has been added since the 6.6 branch
that I meant to add to NEWS.  OK?

Someone should check over NEWS for 6.6, too; I think a few things were
missed, but it will be harder to pick them out now.

 * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now has lower overhead for high 
 frequency signals (e.g. SIGALRM) via the QPassSignals packet.
 
+* GDB for MIPS targets now autodetects whether a remote target provides
+32-bit or 64-bit register values.

+* New commands
+
+set mem inaccessible-by-default
+show mem inaccessible-by-default
+  If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
+  protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
+  prevents GDB from accessing memory outside the memory map.  This
+  is useful for targets with memory mapped registers or which react
+  badly to accesses of unmapped address space.

+set breakpoint auto-hw
+show breakpoint auto-hw
+  If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
+  protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
+  lets GDB use hardware breakpoints automatically for memory regions
+  where it can not use software breakpoints.  This covers both the
+  "break" command and internal breakpoints used for other commands
+  including "next" and "finish".
