This is GDB, the GNU source-level debugger, presently running under
un*x.  This is a pre-alpha version of GDB version 4, and has NOT been
extensively tested.  It surely has some bugs, both bugs that were
present in version 3 and new bugs.  I have filed all the bug reports
and fixes mailed to bug-gdb, and the fixes in particular will move
into these sources as I find the time.

	      => THIS VERSION IS FRAGILE! <=

	It depends on preliminary versions of a new "binary file
	descriptor" library, a new global "include" directory, 
	and separate libraries for "readline" and "libiberty", which
	are packaged separately from GDB.  You must obtain, configure
	and build these libraries manually, then configure and build gdb.
	When building gdb's for multiple platforms, you must manually
	rebuild the libraries separately for each platform.  Yes, of
	course, we are working on this!  FIXME!

	Configure and build the libraries for your host system by:

		cd ../bfd
		./configure HOSTNAME
		make

		cd ../libiberty
		./configure HOSTNAME
		make

		cd ../readline
		[edit Makefile as appropriate]
		make

	Then you can cd ../gdb-whatever, and config and build gdb.

This release moves the generic GNU include files, the BFD library, the
getopt routines, obstacks, and the readline library into the parent
directory of gdb.  The idea is that a variety of GNU tools can share a
common copy of these things.

A summary of features new since gdb-3.5 is in the file `WHATS.NEW'.

The best way to build GDB, in my opinion, is in a subdirectory.  I use
a naming convention "=XXX" where XXX is the machine type I'm building
for.  Nothing depends on this, it's just how I remember which
subdirectories are what.  So, once you have the BFD library built for
that machine, you can do:

	cd gdb-x.yy	(the directory where this README is)
	mkdir =XXX	(e.g. mkdir =vax)
	cd =XXX
	../config.gdb machine
	make

Machine is like "vax" or "sun4".  For more information type `../config.gdb'.

Once you have done that, just `make' will do everything, producing an
executable `gdb' in this directory.

You can also build gdb binaries in a completely different directory from its 
sources, by specifying "srcdir=YYY" to config.gdb, giving it an absolute
or relative path to the source directory.  

GDB can be used as a cross-debugger, running on a machine of one type
while debugging a program running on a machine of another type.  You
configure it this way by specifying `config.gdb host target' where host
is where GDB runs, and target is where your program runs.

If you want a new (current to this release) version of the manual, you
will have to use the gdb.texinfo and texinfo.tex files provided with
this distribution.  For details see the texinfo manual (distributed
with emacs and as a printed manual).

About languages other than C...

C++ support has been integrated into gdb.  GDB should work with FORTRAN
programs.  (If you have problem, please send a bug report; note that you
may have to refer to some FORTRAN variables with a trailing
underscore).  I am not aware of anyone who is working on getting it
to use the syntax of any language other than C or C++.  Pascal programs
which use sets, subranges, file variables, or nested functions will not
currently work.

About kernel debugging...

I have't done this myself so I can't really offer any advice.
Remote debugging over serial lines is more like to be in a currently
functioning state than the standalone gdb (kdb).  FIXME.

About remote debugging...

[This section seems to be out of date, I have never seen the "rapp"
program, though I would like to.  FIXME.]
`rapp' runs under unix and acts as a remote stub (like rem-multi.shar
distributed with GDB version 3).  Currently it just works over UDP
(network), not over a serial line.  To get it running
* Compile GDB on the host machine as usual
* Compile rapp on the target machine, giving for both host and target
  the type of the target machine
* Install "gdb" in /etc/services on both machines.

This will get reworked before the initial release of 4.x.  FIXME.

The files m68k-stub.c and i386-stub.c contain two examples of remote
stubs to be used with remote.c.  They are designeded to run standalone
on a 68k or 386 cpu and communicate properly with the remote.c stub
over a serial line.

The file rem-multi.shar contains a general stub that can probably be
running on various different flavors of unix to allow debugging over a
serial line from one machine to another.

The files remote-eb.c and remote-nindy.c are two examples of remote
interfaces for talking to existing ROM monitors (for the AMD 29000 and the
Intel 960 repsectively).  There is also a remote interface for the
VxWorks realtime kernel, which communicates over TCP/IP, in remote-vx.c
and the vx-share subdirectory.

About reporting bugs...

The correct address for reporting bugs found with gdb is
"bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu".  Please email all bugs to that address.

About xgdb...

xgdb is obsolete.  We are not doing any development or support of it.

There is an "xxgdb", which shows more promise.

For those intersted in auto display of source and the availability of
an editor while debugging I suggest trying gdb-mode in gnu-emacs
(Try typing M-x gdb RETURN).  Comments on this mode are welcome.

About the machine-dependent files...

tconfig/<machine>
This contains Makefile stuff for when the target system is <machine>.
It also specifies the name of the tm-XXX.h file for this machine.

xconfig/<machine>
This contains Makefile stuff for when the host system is <machine>.
It also specifies the name of the xm-XXX.h file for this machine.

tm-XXX.h (tm.h is a link to this file, created by config.gdb).
This file contains macro definitions that express information
about the target machine's registers, stack frame format and instructions.

xm-XXX.h (xm.h is a link to this file, created by config.gdb).
This contains macro definitions describing the host system environment,
such as byte order, host C compiler and library, ptrace support,
and core file structure.

<machine>-opcode.h
<machine>-pinsn.c
These files contain the information necessary to print instructions
for your cpu type.  <machine>-opcode.h includes some large initialized
data structures, which is strange for a ".h" file, but it's OK since
it is only included in one place.  <machine>-opcode.h is shared
between the debugger and the assembler (if the GNU assembler has been
ported to that machine), whereas <machine>-pinsn.c is specific to GDB.

<machine>-tdep.c
This file contains any miscellaneous code required for this machine
as a target.  On some machines it doesn't exist at all.  Its existence
is specified in the tconfig/XXX file.

<machine>-xdep.c
This file contains any miscellaneous code required for this machine
as a host.  On some machines it doesn't exist at all.  Its existence
is specified in the xconfig/XXX file.

infptrace.c
This is the low level interface to inferior processes for systems
using the Unix ptrace call in a vanilla way.  Some systems have their
own routines in <machine>-xdep.c.  Whether or not it is used
is specified in the xconfig/XXX file.

coredep.c
Machine and system-dependent aspects of reading core files.  Some
machines use coredep.c; some have the routines in <machine>-xdep.c.
Whether or not it is used is specified in the xconfig/XXX file.
Now that BFD is used to read core files, virtually all machines should
use coredep.c and should just provide fetch_core_registers in
<machine>-xdep.c.

exec.c 
Machine and system-dependent aspects of reading executable files.
Some machines use exec.c; some have the routines in <machine>-tdep.c
Since BFD, virtually all machines should use exec.c.

About writing code for GDB...

We appreciate having users contribute code that is of general use, but
for it to be included in future GDB releases it must be cleanly
written.  We do not want to include changes that will needlessly make
future maintainance difficult.  It is not much harder to do things
right, and in the long term it is worth it to the GNU project, and
probably to you individually as well.

Please code according to the GNU coding standards.  If you do not have
a copy, you can request one by sending mail to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.

If you make substantial changes, you'll have to file a copyright
assignment with the Free Software Foundation before we can produce a
release that includes your changes.  Send mail requesting the copyright
assignment to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Do this early, like before the
changes actually work, or even before you start them, because a manager
or lawyer on your end will probably make this a slow process.

Please try to avoid making machine-specific changes to
machine-independent files.  If this is unavoidable, put a hook in the
machine-independent file which calls a (possibly) machine-dependent
macro (for example, the IGNORE_SYMBOL macro can be used for any
symbols which need to be ignored on a specific machine.  Calling
IGNORE_SYMBOL in dbxread.c is a lot cleaner than a maze of #if
defined's).  The machine-independent code should do whatever "most"
machines want if the macro is not defined in param.h.  Using #if
defined can sometimes be OK (e.g. SET_STACK_LIMIT_HUGE) but should be
conditionalized on a specific feature of an operating system (set in
tm.h or xm.h) rather than something like #if defined(vax) or #if
defined(SYSV).  If you use an #ifdef on some symbol that is defined
in a header file (e.g. #ifdef TIOCSETP), *please* make sure that you
have #include'd the relevant header file in that module!

It is better to replace entire routines which may be system-specific,
rather than put in a whole bunch of hooks which are probably not going
to be helpful for any purpose other than your changes.  For example,
if you want to modify dbxread.c to deal with DBX debugging symbols
which are in COFF files rather than BSD a.out files, do something
along the lines of a macro GET_NEXT_SYMBOL, which could have
different definitions for COFF and a.out, rather than trying to put
the necessary changes throughout all the code in dbxread.c that
currently assumes BSD format.

Please avoid duplicating code.  For example, in GDB 3.x all the stuff
in infptrace.c was duplicated in *-dep.c, and so changing something
was very painful.  Thus in GDB 4.x these have all been consolidated
into infptrace.c.  infptrace.c can deal with variations between
systems the same way any system-independent file would (hooks, #if
defined, etc.), and machines which are radically different don't need
to use infptrace.c at all.  The same was true of core_file_command
and exec_file_command.

About debugging gdb with itself...

You probably want to do a "make TAGS" after you configure your
distribution; this will put the machine dependent routines for your
local machine where they will be accessed first by a M-period .

Also, make sure that you've compiled gdb with your local cc or taken
appropriate precautions regarding ansification of include files.  See
the Makefile for more information.

When you run gdb in this directory, it will read a ".gdbinit" file that
sets up some simple things to make debugging gdb easier.  The "info"
command, when executed without a subcommand in a gdb being debugged by
gdb, will pop you back up to the top level gdb.  See .gdbinit for details.
