Synopsis
devtoolset-3-gdb bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated devtoolset-3-gdb packages that fix several bugs are now available for
Red Hat Developer Toolset 3.1.
Description
The GNU Debugger (GDB) allows users to debug programs written in various
programming languages including C, C++, and Fortran. The devtoolset-3-gdb
packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset version of GDB.
The devtoolset-3-gdb packages have been upgraded to upstream version 7.8.2,
which provides a number of bug fixes and several minor improvements over the
previous version. Among others:
- Compatibility with Virtual Dynamic Shared Objects (vDSO) from Linux kernel
built with the new binutils ld linker has been fixed. (BZ#1145261)
- A regression, which caused the readline function in GDB to crash when a
command was typed while annotations were in effect, has been fixed. (BZ#1151332)
- A new command, "add-auto-load-scripts-directory <directory>", has been added.
It adds entries to the list of directories from which automatically loaded
scripts are loaded.
- The gdb/jit-reader.h header file is now installed in the include directory, so
that it can be used for writing readers for parsing custom debugging information
formats.
Note that Fortran slices and sub-matrices, for example, expressions like
"a(2,2:3)", "a(1,2:)", "a(:,:)", or "a(:)", are not supported in this release
although they were supported in Red Hat Developer Toolset 2 releases.
Users of devtoolset-3-gdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.
