I spotted this while reviewing a patch adding a new gdbarch_software_single_step implementation. I find the name "software_single_step" a bit misleading or unclear. It makes it sounds as if the function executed a single step. In reality, this function returns the possible next PCs for current instructions. We have a similar concept in GDBserver: linux_process_target::low_get_next_pcs. I like that name, it's clear and straight to the point. Rename gdbarch_software_single_step to gdbarch_get_next_pcs. I find this name more indicative of what happens. There is some code for ARM shared between GDB and GDBserver to implement both sides, also called "get next pcs", so I think it all fits well together. Tested by rebuilding.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
