The online doco indicates: (gdb) help info registers List of integer registers and their contents, for selected stack frame. Register name as argument means describe only that register. (gdb) help info all-registers List of all registers and their contents, for selected stack frame. Register name as argument means describe only that register. I think the change makes the behavour a better match for both the documentation and what I think is the intent of the command. Print a minimal set of registers. It will eventually affect the i386 -- I've a patch to change the type of xmm [and mmx] registers to true vectors. When that is in, ``info registers'' will stop displaying the xmm registers. Thoughts? enjoy, Andrew
