GDB 6.4 released!

Release 6.4 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available via anonymous
FTP.  GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Ada, Java and many other
languages.  GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more than
a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run on
most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows variants.

Since the previous release (6.3, released one year ago) we've made
many fixes and enhancements including:

* New native configurations

OpenBSD/arm			arm*-*-openbsd*
OpenBSD/mips64			mips64-*-openbsd*

* New targets

Morpho Technologies ms1		ms1-elf

* New command line options

--batch-silent			As for --batch, but totally silent.
--return-child-result		The debugger will exist with the same value
				the child (debugged) program exited with.
--eval-command COMMAND, -ex COMMAND
				Execute a single GDB CLI command. This may be
				specified multiple times and in conjunction
				with the --command (-x) option.

* Deprecated commands removed

The following commands, that were deprecated in 2000, have been
removed:

  Command				Replacement
  set|show arm disassembly-flavor	set|show arm disassembler
  othernames				set arm disassembler
  set|show remotedebug			set|show debug remote
  set|show archdebug			set|show debug arch
  set|show eventdebug			set|show debug event
  regs					info registers

* New BSD user-level threads support

It is now possible to debug programs using the user-level threads
library on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.  Currently supported (target)
configurations are:

FreeBSD/amd64			x86_64-*-freebsd*
FreeBSD/i386			i386-*-freebsd*
OpenBSD/i386			i386-*-openbsd*

Note that the new kernel threads libraries introduced in FreeBSD 5.x
are not yet supported.

* New support for Matsushita MN10300 w/sim added
(Work in progress).  mn10300-elf.

* REMOVED configurations and files

VxWorks and the XDR protocol			*-*-vxworks
Renesas H8/300S					h8300*-*-*
Motorola MCORE                                  mcore-*-*
Matsushita MN10300 w/simulator			mn10300-*-*
National Semiconductor NS32000			ns32k-*-*
NEC V850					v850-*-*

* New "set print array-indexes" command

After turning this setting "on", GDB prints the index of each element
when displaying arrays.  The default is "off" to preserve the previous
behavior.

* VAX floating point support

GDB now supports the not-quite-ieee VAX F and D floating point formats.

* User-defined command support

In addition to using $arg0..$arg9 for argument passing, it is now possible
to use $argc to determine now many arguments have been passed.  See the
section on user-defined commands in the user manual for more information.
