I have to update > everything it depends on? That's a judgement call. [pedantic: it's based on one's experience, what one is currently working on, how many trees one has checked out, which modules are in each tree, knowledge of changes that have gone in since the last update, knowledge of what versions of installed tools are in use, and I'm guessing various other things I'm forgetting.] For the context of being fairly new to gdb, with just the gdb module checked out, I would update everything in the gdb module every time (using the way I previously showed). [pedantic: even that could get one into trouble. As Michael points out, various changes in other tools can cause problems. If you're on a fairly old linux system, for example, with a fairly old binutils, for example, and you need support for something that's only recently been fixed, you may find you have to either install newer versions of those tools or start using a combined tree. But if you're fairly new, I wouldn't worry about it at all. TMI. Just file this away for future reference.] > I am new at working with gdb, sorry for the low level questions. No problem.
