I have just finished importing GDB-4.18 into FreeBSD-current. At the same time, I made the thing work properly in FreeBSD/alpha. Unfortunately due to a technical hitch with CVS which I'm hoping can be cleared up by someone who understands CVS better than me, the alpha version is missing exactly one file, alpha-tdep.c. People who would like to try gdb on the alpha today should copy http://www.freebsd.org/~dfr/alpha-tdep.c to src/contrib/gdb/gdb and tweak the Makefile in src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils to enable the build. I have not tested any kind of postmortem debugging yet (user or kernel). Normal user coredumps may work but kernel coredumps will certainly not work. I'm hoping that Andrew Gallatin who made kernel coredumps work on the alpha might tackle this but if not, I will have a go at it eventually. Have fun with it, break it and send me the fixes :-) Hopefully it should be part of the main build very soon. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
