This is now a C++ package.
Cherry-pick a patch from the unreleased HEAD of cgdb for GDB 8.3+.
Take maintainership.
cgdb-0.7.1 (08/04/2019)
* Status bar messages are now displayed properly in veritical mode.
The message is now truncated according to the status bar width instead
of the width of the terminal.
* Fix spurious error from CGDB on shutdown. You may have seen,
CGDB had unexpected results. Search the logs for more details.
In the log there was a waitpid error. CGDB was using the API wrong.
* Fix issue #161 - CGDB would lock up when doing a regex search from
the status bar if the file was just opened from the file dialog and
the search did not match any text in the file. Now the search fails
to match text as expected.
* Status bar commands and gdb console commands now both show gdb
output in the gdb window (instead of only the gdb console commands).
This fixed issue #154 on github.
* Fixed issue where typing F8 would do a 'next', 'step' and
screen refresh instead of just doing a 'next' command.
* Fix issue #139 - Show appropriate logos when color disabled
Previously, if the user had colors disabled, CGDB would still show
logos that had ansi escape color sequences in them.
* Fixed :highlight regression introduced in 0.7.0.
In 0.6.8, if the user entered a :highlight command from the CGDB
status bar, for instance:
:highlight Comment ctermfg=Blue
CGDB would updated the currently displayed source file
with the requested highlighting changes. In 0.7.0 this would not occur.
Both versions honored :highlight in the .cgdbrc file.
* Fix issue #125 - CGDB can cross compile again.
* The rust syntax highlighter is now case sensitive instead of case
insensitive.
* Fix issue #129. CGDB with old versions of ncurses (5.6 or before)
would not display colors. Now it will display colors, but will
not support ansi colors in the GDB window.
* Fix issue #137. rustlexer.lpp fails to compile with some versions
of GNU autotools.
* Fix issue #135. CGDB would "freeze" when opening the file
dialog if the number of files was very large. Updating the
gdbwire parser resolved the issue.
* Add support for readline's backward-kill-word and kill-word at gdb prompt
cgdb-0.7.0 (03/21/2017)
* Remove help2man dependency. CGDB has a good info page which
should suffice.
* The hlsearch option has been added to CGDB. This improves the
searching and displaying of searching functionality within CGDB.
By default the option is off. When enabled, and there exists a
previous search, CGDB will display the search results using
the Search highlighting group. The IncSearch highlighting group
is used to display the active search. The hlsearch option
highlights previous searches in the source window, the gdb window
when in scroll mode and the file dialog window.
* CGDB now supports showing assembly code! By default, CGDB will
display source code when it is available and assembly code
when no source code is available. The option 'set disasm'
allows you to show mixed source/assembly when both are available.
* Add support to enable/disable showing assembly code in CGDB.
The default is disabled. The 'set disasm' enables showing
mixed assembly mode by default. See the documentation for more
information.
* Add the :logo command to cgdb. This tells CGDB to display a logo
in the source window.
* Add an initial Rust syntax highlighter.
* Support vi type <digit>j and <digit>k motions. Previously only
typing j or k with out a number was supported.
* Add support for marks. m[a-z] will set a local file mark and
m[A-Z] will set a global mark. '[a-z] will jump to the
corresponding local mark and '[A-Z] will jump to the corresponding
global mark. As an added bonus '' will jump to the last jump location
and '. will jump to the last executing line.
The showmarks option was introduced to show the marks in the source
window. It defaults to true. You can disable the viewing of marks
using 'set noshowmarks'.
* Add support to enable or disable color in the source window.
The default is enabled. See the documentation for more information.
* Add support for showing colors in the debug window. If gdb or the
program being debugged output an ansi escape code representing color,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors
then CGDB will display the corresponding color instead of the escape
code. This option is configurable with the set debugwincolor option.
* Add the winminwidth option to CGDB. It controls the minimum width
that a window can be resized. It corresponds to the winminheight
option. This was introduced now that CGDB can have vertically split
windows.
* Add support for vertical or horizontal splitting of the CGDB/GDB
windows. Thanks to Daniel Cohen for the original implementation
of this idea! You can change the window orientation by using the
command 'set winsplitorientation=horizontal or vertical'.
horizontal is the default orientation. Type Ctrl-w to switch between
vertical and horizontal viewing.
* Remove the TTY mode and TTY window from CGDB. This previously allowed
you to send input to the program being debugged through the TTY
window in CGDB. It is better for the user to run their program in
one terminal and attach to it with CGDB from another terminal in
order to get terminal input and terminal output working correctly.
* Add the -w command line option to CGDB. It directs CGDB to wait
to start until either a debugger is attached to it, or until a key
is written to it's stdin. This helps simplify debugging CGDB itself.
* Added GDB scroll mode in addition to the existing GDB command mode.
To enter scroll mode, type 'page up' when in GDB mode and to exit
type 'q', 'i' or 'Enter'. In scroll mode, you can scroll through
the GDB output. You can also search the GDB output with the /, ?, n
and N keys. Marks are also supported. You can set a mark by typing
m[a-z] and you can jump to a mark by typing '[a-z]. See the
documentation for more details.
* Extended support for the G command when in CGDB mode. The new supported
syntax is [<number>]G, allowing users to jump to a specific line within
the source file, rather than just the end of the source file. This is
identical to the :<number> command.
* Added support for 'executinglinedisplay' and 'selectedlinedisplay'
configuration options. See documentation for full explanation.
This allows you to configure how CGDB displays both the currently
executing line and the currently selected line.
The default for executing line is set to longarrow.
The default for selected line is set to block.
The 'arrowstyle' option has been deprecated (but still supported)
and users should use the 'executinglinedisplay' option instead.
* CGDB now only supports ncurses. Support for curses was removed.
The curses support was previously very out of date and untested.
If curses support is needed, please let us know.
