I'll be happy to add documentation to gdbint.texinfo, but I'm not quite sure where to start. This patch was about handling breakpoints when the main objfile is relocated during startup. Where does this fit in the current structure of the manual? A natural place might be a section on how relocation is handled in general, typically in the context of shared libraries ... but these topics are not currently covered at all. Any suggestions where to start here? Thanks, Ulrich -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand GNU Toolchain for Linux on System z and Cell BE Ulrich.Weigand@de.ibm.com
