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.

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?
