Subject: [PATCH] [gdb/tui] Expand WDB reference
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 10:52:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424085252.2055425-1-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)

In gdb/tui/tui.c I came across:
...
/* General functions for the WDB TUI.
...

Initially I thought this was a WDB->GDB typo, but after searching a bit I
found out that this is a reference to HP Wildebeest, a port of GDB to HP-UX.

Change the comment line to use "General functions for the GDB TUI", and
instead mention it here in a more descriptive form:
...
-   Contributed by Hewlett-Packard Company.
+   Contributed by Hewlett-Packard Company.  Developed as part of HP Wildebeest
+   (WDB), a port of GDB to HP-UX.
...

While we're at it, remove a pointless "This is a sample program for the HP WDB
debugger" note in gdb.base/average.c.
