Synopsis
new packages: devtoolset-1.1-gdb
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
New devtoolset-1.1-gdb packages are now available as part of the General
Availability release of Red Hat Developer Toolset 1.1.
Description
The GNU Debugger (GDB) allows users to debug programs written in C, C++,
Fortran, and other programming languages. The devtoolset-1.1-gdb packages
provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset version of GDB.
This enhancement update adds the devtoolset-1.1-gdb packages to Red Hat
Developer Toolset 1.1 and upgrades GDB to upstream version 7.5, which provides a
number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#848051)
This update also fixes the following bug:
- When a struct member was at an offset greater than 256 MB, the resulting bit
position within the struct overflowed and caused an invalid access by GDB. With
this update, the code has been modified to ensure that GDB can access such
positions. (BZ#871066)
All users of devtoolset-1.1-gdb are advised to install these new packages.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
