Details

An updated gdb package that fixes various bugs is now available.

GDB, the GNU debugger, allows debugging of programs written in C, C++,
and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion, and then
printing their data.

This updated package addresses the following issues:

- GDB on ia64 had previously implemented a bug fix to work-around a kernel
problem when creating a core file via gcore. The bug fix caused a
significant slow-down of gcore.

- GDB on Itanium issued an extraneous warning when gcore was used.

- GDB on Itanium could not successfully do an info frame for a signal
trampoline.

- GDB on AMD64 and Intel EM64T had problems attaching to a 32-bit process.

- GDB on AMD64 and Intel EM64T was not properly handling threaded watchpoints.

- GDB could not build with gcc4 when -Werror flag was set.

- GDB had problems printing inherited members of C++ classes.

- A few updates from mainline sources concerning Dwarf2 partial die in
cache support, follow-fork support, interrupted syscall support, and
DW_OP_piece read support.

All users of gdb should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
