The GDB people have done it again. The new release 4.17 of the GNU debugger [6] brings several new features, languages, and platforms, but for some reason, it no longer integrates properly with my graphical front-end DDD [10]: the arguments specified within DDD are not passed to the debugged program. Something has changed within GDB such that it no longer works for me. Something? Between the 4.16 and 4.17 releases, no less than 178,000 lines have changed. How can I isolate the change that caused the failure and make GDB work again?
I guess this was before Git. I love git bisect
- khedoros1 9y agoI couldn't quickly find the 4.17 release, but gdb 4.17.0.4 was released at the end of June 1998. The release notes mentioned Linux kernels in the 2.0-2.1 range.
