I'll be happy to add documentation to gdbint.texinfo, but I'm not quite
sure where to start. This patch was about handling breakpoints when the
main objfile is relocated during startup. Where does this fit in the
current structure of the manual? A natural place might be a section on
how relocation is handled in general, typically in the context of shared
libraries ... but these topics are not currently covered at all.
Any suggestions where to start here?
Thanks,
Ulrich
