Unfortunately, I don't know anything about tracepoints, and the code doesn't have enough helpful comments to allow even minimal docs to be written. I'm willing to convert these HTML documents into Texinfo, but I have two issues with this: - Is the stuff in the above documents still valid, or were significant changes introduced into tracepoints since then? - The main document pointed to by the above URL clearly says it's a proprietary documentation that cannot be changed or even reproduced without an express _written_ consent of Cygnus. This is a far cry from the GFDL, and it seems to prohibit any work done by anyone to produce a chapter for the GDB manual using this stuff. Michael Snyder and/or Jim Blandy, could you please help resolve these two issues?
