I've added it like so, hope that's what you mean: +@kindex maint set can-use-displaced-stepping +@kindex maint show can-use-displaced-stepping +@cindex displaced stepping support +@item maint set can-use-displaced-stepping +@itemx maint show can-use-displaced-stepping +Control whether or not @value{GDBN} will do displaced stepping if the +target supports it. The default is on. @dfn{Displaced stepping} is a +way to single-step over breakpoints without removing them from the +inferior, by executing an out-of-line copy of the instruction that was +originally at the breakpoint location. It is also known as +out-of-line single-stepping. + It's the first time I'm looking at @dfn{], so I looked here for guidelines: http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/cgi-bin/info2www?(texinfo)dfn Thanks, -- Pedro Alves
