RFC: update www.gnu.org/software/gdb for 6.4 release

[Jim Blandy <jimb at red-bean dot com>]

Here's a patch to update www.gnu.org/software/gdb in light of the 6.4
release.  This fixes www/2068.

The steps required:
- get a Savannah account
- add an SSH key
- get added to the GDB group
- check out the web pages and fix them

I'm not sure we have anyone responsible for reviewing changes there,
but certainly it makes sense to give the group a chance to look things
over.  So please give it a look.

! 		    GDB 6.3 released!

! Release 6.3 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available via anonymous
! FTP.  GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Java and many other
  languages.  GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more than
  a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run on
  most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows variants.

! Since the previous release (6.2.1, released 8 weeks ago) we've made
  many fixes and enhancements including:

! * GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups

! GDB now supports a more compact representation of DWARF-2 debug
! information using DW_FORM_ref_addr references.  These are produced
! by GCC with the option -feliminate-dwarf2-dups and also by some
! proprietary compilers.  With GCC, you must use GCC 3.3.4 or later
! to use -feliminate-dwarf2-dups.

! * Internationalization

! When supported by the host system, GDB will be built with
! internationalization (libintl).  The task of marking up the sources is
! continuing, we're looking forward to our first translation.

! * Ada

! Initial support for debugging programs compiled with the GNAT
! implementation of the Ada programming language has been integrated
! into GDB.  In this release, support is limited to expression evaluation.

! * New native configurations

! GNU/Linux/m32r					m32r-*-linux-gnu

! * Remote 'p' packet

! GDB's remote protocol now includes support for the 'p' packet.  This
! packet is used to fetch individual registers from a remote inferior.

! * END-OF-LIFE registers[] compatibility module

! GDB's internal register infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
! The new infrastructure making possible the implementation of key new
! features including 32x64 (e.g., 64-bit amd64 GDB debugging a 32-bit
! i386 application).

! GDB 6.3 will be the last release to include the the registers[]
! compatibility module that allowed out-of-date configurations to
! continue to work.  This change directly impacts the following
! configurations:

! hppa-*-hpux
! ia64-*-aix
! mips-*-irix*
! *-*-lynx
! mips-*-linux-gnu
! sds protocol
! xdr protocol
! powerpc bdm protocol

! Unless there is activity to revive these configurations, they will be
! made OBSOLETE in GDB 6.4, and REMOVED from GDB 6.5.

! * OBSOLETE configurations and files

! Configurations that have been declared obsolete in this release have
! been commented out.  Unless there is activity to revive these
! configurations, the next release of GDB will have their sources
! permanently REMOVED.

  languages.  GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more than
  a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run on
  most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows variants.

! Since the previous release (6.3, released one year ago) we've made
  many fixes and enhancements including:

! * New native configurations

! OpenBSD/arm			arm*-*-openbsd*
! OpenBSD/mips64			mips64-*-openbsd*

! * New targets

! Morpho Technologies ms1		ms1-elf

! * New command line options

! --batch-silent			As for --batch, but totally silent.
! --return-child-result		The debugger will exist with the same value
! 				the child (debugged) program exited with.
! --eval-command COMMAND, -ex COMMAND
! 				Execute a single GDB CLI command. This may be
! 				specified multiple times and in conjunction
! 				with the --command (-x) option.

! * Deprecated commands removed
!
! The following commands, that were deprecated in 2000, have been
! removed:

!   Command				Replacement
!   set|show arm disassembly-flavor	set|show arm disassembler
!   othernames				set arm disassembler
!   set|show remotedebug			set|show debug remote
!   set|show archdebug			set|show debug arch
!   set|show eventdebug			set|show debug event
!   regs					info registers

! * New BSD user-level threads support

! It is now possible to debug programs using the user-level threads
! library on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.  Currently supported (target)
! configurations are:

! FreeBSD/amd64			x86_64-*-freebsd*
! FreeBSD/i386			i386-*-freebsd*
! OpenBSD/i386			i386-*-openbsd*

! Note that the new kernel threads libraries introduced in FreeBSD 5.x
! are not yet supported.

! * New support for Matsushita MN10300 w/sim added
! (Work in progress).  mn10300-elf.

! * REMOVED configurations and files

! VxWorks and the XDR protocol			*-*-vxworks
! Renesas H8/300S					h8300*-*-*
! Motorola MCORE                                  mcore-*-*

! After turning this setting "on", GDB prints the index of each element
! when displaying arrays.  The default is "off" to preserve the previous
! behavior.

! * VAX floating point support

! GDB now supports the not-quite-ieee VAX F and D floating point formats.

! * User-defined command support

! In addition to using $arg0..$arg9 for argument passing, it is now possible
! to use $argc to determine now many arguments have been passed.  See the
! section on user-defined commands in the user manual for more information.

! 			Known problems in GDB 6.3
!
! 		See also: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/
!
!
! *** Build problems
!
! build/1411: build fails on hpux 10.20 and hpux 11.00 with CMA threads
!
! GDB does not build on HP/UX 10.20 or HP/UX 11.00 if the CMA
! thread package is installed.  The compile error is:
!
!   ../../gdb/hpux-thread.c:222: variable-size type declared outside
of any function
!
! This happens only if the CMA thread package is installed.
!
! As a workaround, you can disable support for CMA threads
! by editing the file gdb/configure.  Find the line:
!
!   if test -f /usr/include/dce/cma_config.h ; then
!
! And replace it with:
!
!   if false ; then
!
! *** Misc
!
! gdb/1560: Control-C does not always interrupt GDB.
!
! When GDB is busy processing a command which takes a long time to
! complete, hitting Control-C does not have the expected effect.
! The command execution is not aborted, and the "QUIT" message confirming
! the abortion is displayed only after the command has been completed.
!
! *** C++ support
!
! gdb/931: GDB could be more generous when reading types C++ templates on input
!
! When the user types a template, GDB frequently requires the type to be
! typed in a certain way (e.g. "const char*" as opposed to "const char *"
! or "char const *" or "char const*").
!
! gdb/1512: no canonical way to output names of C++ types
!
! We currently don't have any canonical way to output names of C++ types.
! E.g. "const char *" versus "char const *"; more subtleties arise when
! dealing with templates.
!
! gdb/1516: [regression] local classes, gcc 2.95.3, dwarf-2
!
! With gcc 2.95.3 and the dwarf-2 debugging format, classes which are
! defined locally to a function include the demangled name of the function
! as part of their name.  For example, if a function "foobar" contains a
! local class definition "Local", gdb will say that the name of the class
! type is "foobar__Fi.0:Local".
!
! This applies only to classes where the class type is defined inside a
! function, not to variables defined with types that are defined somewhere
! outside any function (which most types are).
!
! gdb/1588: names of c++ nested types in casts must be enclosed in quotes
!
! You must type
!   (gdb) print ('Foo::Bar') x
! or
!   (gdb) print ('Foo::Bar' *) y
! instead of
!   (gdb) print (Foo::Bar) x
! or
!   (gdb) print (Foo::Bar *) y
! respectively.
!
! gdb/1091: Constructor breakpoints ignored
! gdb/1193: g++ 3.3 creates multiple constructors: gdb 5.3 can't set breakpoints
!
! When gcc 3.x compiles a C++ constructor or C++ destructor, it generates
! 2 or 3 different versions of the object code.  These versions have
! unique mangled names (they have to, in order for linking to work), but
! they have identical source code names, which leads to a great deal of
! confusion.  Specifically, if you set a breakpoint in a constructor or a
! destructor, gdb will put a breakpoint in one of the versions, but your
! program may execute the other version.  This makes it impossible to set
! breakpoints reliably in constructors or destructors.
!
! gcc 3.x generates these multiple object code functions in order to
! implement virtual base classes.  gcc 2.x generated just one object code
! function with a hidden parameter, but gcc 3.x conforms to a multi-vendor
! ABI for C++ which requires multiple object code functions.
!
! *** Threads
!
! threads/1650: manythreads.exp
!
! On GNU/Linux systems that use the old LinuxThreads thread library, a
! program rapidly creating and deleting threads can confuse GDB leading
! to an internal error.

! This problem does not occur on newer systems that use the NPTL
! library, and did not occur with GDB 6.1.
