Re: Errors with gdb

[bemis <bemis at iol dot unh dot edu>]

Hello,
  I started writing the gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/alpha.inc file, and added the
approprate lines to the asm-source.exp file.  Can anyone point to where I'll
read/learn about what needs to be implemented for the alpha.  I would like to learn
about the alpha.inc file that I need to write, and what it does.
Thanks.
