GDB 7.0

    * Reverse debugging: GDB now has new commands reverse-continue,
      reverse-step, reverse-next, reverse-finish, reverse-stepi,
      reverse-nexti, and set execution-direction {forward|reverse},
      for targets that support reverse execution.

    * Support for debugging applications on hybrid systems that use
      more than one single processor architecture at the same time.
      (eg the CELL processor in the PS3).

    * Support for scripting using Python.  New GDB commands can now be
      written in Python.

    * The "disassemble" command now supports an optional /m modifier
      to print mixed source+assembly.

    * Inlined functions are now supported.  They show up in
      backtraces, and the "step", "next", and "finish" commands handle
      them automatically.

    * GDB now supports automatic retrieval of shared library files
      from remote targets.

instead of using regular expressions... -_-

hell, no-one would use an assembler where you have to indent your code. so, why use fucking python?!

>>3
It's a debugger, not an assembler

>>4
ofc it is, but as an asm-programmer i dont want to use fucking python

>>4
Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not an assembler!

I thought I was the only /prog/rider reading nick clifton's blog!  hello my brother!

Is it just me or is gdb's CLI the most horrible syntax ever? Even DOS's old DEBUG was a lot easier to use than this bloated piece of shit.

>>8
That's the GNU touch.

>>8
It's not just you. Anon-kun is correct, it's the GNU touch.

use Python::Failure;
use GDB;
Failure::Inject(GDB);

>>9
Isn't Guile the more GNU-ish option?

info(1) is pretty fucking GNU.

emacs is pretty fucking GNU.

hurd is pretty fucking GNU

GNUs aren't pretty.

fucking GNUs is pretty

FSF offers "GNU Bucks" for finding nonfree works in free distributions

How dare theu belive that they are even worthy of invoking the name "Kunth"!

wow.
they must be incredibly disorganised to have to do something like this.
this makes GNUsers look really bad.

>>26
Countless numbers of software are gathered together to form a complete system. Out of this collection of software, it isn't always obvious which ones fail to grant freedom. This initiative is a bounty intended for people that care about this sort of thing.

No it's not. Imagine a biscuit cookie factory. It produces crisp-cookies to be sold all day. This brittle bread gets packaged and pushed. On the package, it is written: "If you find problematic package, mail it back ot us and you get a free one-year X brand cookies prescription!". What does that mean is that the factory is interested in improving the quality of its products by minimizing these errors. Presumably there's enough information on the individual package to tell them when and where the anomaly occured. This is a level higher on the "customer pleasurability" - unknown brands usually don't offer this because they don't care if from the 50.000 pieces they sell the %0.1 misproduced, because it is unlikely in such a small number someone would bother reporting this or taking action against the company. The same applies here; GNU lets you know something that you could do for the company that would benefit you and the community at the same time with no cost to you. What cost is it to send a problematic package back to the company, especially in electronical form, to get the free-year prescription AND help the receiver improve his products, thus benefiting everyone in the community?

>>28
you make it sound easier to use "non-free" code than it actually is.
i think it's closer to a factory that produces hand made cookies and says "If you find razor blade in your cookie, mail it back to us and you get a free one-year X brand cookies prescription!".

>>27
i do agree with you, but shouldn't their programmers be noting these kinds of things? considering how fanatical many GNU proponents are, one would think that they wouldn't use "non-free" code in their own programs offhand.

gtfo, freetards

>>30
back to /g/ please

>>29
i think it's closer to a factory that produces hand made cookies and says "If you find razor blade in your cookie, mail it back to us and you get a free one-year X brand cookies prescription!".
FSF wouldn't be the factory, they'd be the cookie union or some such.

cookie communists?

yes. i think most of us are already aware of this.

>>34
Stop that. You have violated the restrictions placed by the GFDL. Namely, you did not attach a copy of the GFDL when copying my bio. Prepare to be served with a subpoena.

>>37
i can't tell if this is the real RMS or just an uncannily realistic imposter

>>38
an uncannily realistic imposter
You're easily fooled then

>>39
nonsense.
>>38's words read like they came directly from stallman's own hands
