This works like 'start' but it stops at the first instruction rather than the first line in main(). This is useful if one wants to single step through runtime linker startup. While here, introduce a RUN_ARGS_HELP macro for shared help text between run, start, and starti. This includes expanding the help for start and starti to include details from run's help text. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Add starti. * infcmd.c (enum run_break): New. (run_command_1): Queue pending event for RUN_STOP_AT_FIRST_INSN case. (run_command): Use enum run_how. (start_command): Likewise. (starti_command): New function. (RUN_ARGS_HELP): New macro. (_initialize_infcmd): Use RUN_ARGS_HELP for run and start commands. Add starti command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Starting your Program): Add description of starti command. Mention starti command as an alternative for debugging the elaboration phase. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/starti.c: New file. * gdb.base/starti.exp: New file. * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_starti_cmd): New procedure.
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.
