From fd2ae5d6a3a5c4007be45f9b2f325955ac316f36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:30:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Document non-8-bits addressable memory support in NEWS I think it would be a good idea to document that gdb now has (basic) support to read/write memory on architectures with non-8-bits memory. Hopefully somebody will see it and say "Hey! We can now (more easily) port GDB to our strange DSP that has 32-bits-addressable memory!" and do it. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Document support for non-8-bits addressable memory. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 4 ++++ gdb/NEWS | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+) target mon2000 mon2000 ROM monitor target ppcbug PPCBUG ROM monitor for PowerPC +* Support for reading/writing memory and extracting values on architectures + with non-8-bits-addressable memory. + *** Changes in GDB 7.10 * Support for process record-replay and reverse debugging on aarch64*-linux* diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index d1b9ac9..cf55e14 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +2015-08-27 Simon Marchi + + * NEWS: Document support for non-8-bits addressable memory. + 2015-08-27 Pedro Alves * configure.ac: Remove AC_TYPE_SIGNAL call. diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS index 49c4a11..5918f14 100644 --- a/gdb/NEWS +++ b/gdb/NEWS @@ -48,6 +48,9 @@ show remote multiprocess-extensions-packet
