-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2026-8977c2c199 2026-03-20 00:16:04.477719+00:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gdb Product : Fedora 44 Version : 17.1 Release : 4.fc44 URL : https://gnu.org/software/gdb/ Summary : A GNU source-level debugger for C, C++, Fortran, Go and other languages Description : GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++, Fortran, Go, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion and printing their data. If you want to use GDB for development purposes, you should install the 'gdb' package which will install 'gdb-headless' and possibly other useful packages too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Backport upstream commit fixing gcore and fileio.exp bugs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Feb 25 2026 Kevin Buettner <[email protected]> - Backport upstream commit c1da013915e from Kevin Buettner to fix gcore failures caused by glibc 2.42 guard page changes (RHBZ 2413405). - Backport upstream commit d2cc16cd7fc from Jan Vrany to fix FAILs in gdb.base/fileio.exp caused by macro expansion of path components in OUTDIR. * Mon Feb 16 2026 Guinevere Larsen <[email protected]> - Backport upstream commit f08ffbbf269 to fix RHBZ 2435950 This reverts a new feature that was never properly approved for merging in upstream GDB. * Wed Feb 4 2026 Andrew Burgess <[email protected]> - Backport upstream commit 70b66cf338b14336 to fix RH BZ 2402580. This backport will not be needed once we rebase to GDB 18. * Tue Feb 3 2026 Kevin Buettner <[email protected]> - Remove gcc-gdb-plugin BuildRequires and build with --disable-gdb-compile due to this feature's brokenness. Tests using this feature skip cleanly without timeouts. Reduces binary size and attack surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2413405 - gdb: gcore generated coredumps of multi-threaded programs don't show thread details https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2413405 [ 2 ] Bug #2435950 - gdb 17.1 can't step into functions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2435950 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
