Raw Blame History

2008-07-10 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (fetch_watchpoint_value): New comment on unreachable
values.
(watch_command_1): New variable VAL_CHAIN. Refuse constant watchpoints.
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_CODE_FUNC): New comment regarding pointers to it.
2008-07-10 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Set Watchpoints): Document constant value watchpoints.
2008-07-10 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/watchpoint.exp: Call TEST_CONSTANT_WATCHPOINT.
(test_constant_watchpoint): New function.
(test_inaccessible_watchpoint): Cleanup (delete) the watchpoint.
Test also a double-indirection watchpoint.
gdb.base/watchpoint.c (global_ptr_ptr): New variable.
(func4): New testing code for GLOBAL_PTR_PTR.
