GDB 9.2 debugger release

Published a new version of the GDB 9.2 debugger that only offers bug fixes, relative to the version 9.1. GDB supports source-level debugging for a wide range of programming languages ​​(Ada, C, C++, Objective-C, Pascal, Go, etc.) on various hardware (i386, amd64, ARM, Power, Sparc, RISC-V and etc.) and software platforms (GNU/Linux, *BSD, Unix, Windows, macOS).

Starting with the 9.x branch, the GDB project moved to a new release numbering scheme, reminiscent of the GCC approach. Following this scheme, version 9.0 was used during the development process, after which the first stable release of 9.1 was formed, which offered end-user-ready functional improvements. Subsequent releases in this branch (9.2, 9.3, etc.) will only include bug fixes, but a new set of features is being developed in the 10.0 branch, which will be offered as a 10.1 stable release when ready.

Of the fixes in the 9.2 release, it notes:

  • Elimination of violation of output on the screen after resizing the window with code / disassembler or commands.
  • Solving the problem with the output of auxiliary variables with the address through 'printf'.
  • Fixes issues that prevent builds on new releases of Solaris 11.4 and on systems with SPARC processors.
  • Fix looping when loading symbols from separate debug obj files.
