The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
* gdb-13.1-1
The GNU debugger allows you to debug programs written in C, C++, and
other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion and printing
their data.
This is an update to the latest upstream version:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-announce/2023/000134.html
See the /usr/share/doc/gdb/NEWS file for a list of user-visible changes.
Of particular interest:
* The 'disable-randomization' setting now works on Windows versions
which support disabling ASLR for a spawned process. If supported, it's
on by default.
* GDB can now show thread names set with SetThreadDescription() (which
is used by Cygwin's implementation of pthread_setname_np(), the
equivalent UNIX API)
In addition, it contains the following patches carried forward from the
previous Cygwin package:
* Teach the demangler to deal with '@'-decorated __stdcall functions
* (experimental) Teach gdb how to unwind frames for the Cygwin signal
delivery wrapper functions _sigbe and sigdelayed
* Fix a memory leak which would occur in the case when the result of
realpath() is greater than or equal to SO_NAME_MAX_PATH_SIZE (Corinna
Vinschen)
* Simplify and improve handling of inferior context after a Cygwin signal
* Use cygwin pgid if inferior is a cygwin process (Takashi Yano)
