@end smallexample

@smallexample
@c @group
-set symbol-reloading -- Set dynamic symbol table reloading
- multiple times in one run
-show symbol-reloading -- Show dynamic symbol table reloading
- multiple times in one run
+alias -- Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command
+aliases -- Aliases of other commands
+d -- Delete some breakpoints or auto-display expressions
+del -- Delete some breakpoints or auto-display expressions
+delete -- Delete some breakpoints or auto-display expressions
@c @end group
@end smallexample

-@cindex reloading symbols
-Some systems allow individual object files that make up your program to
-be replaced without stopping and restarting your program. For example,
-in VxWorks you can simply recompile a defective object file and keep on
-running. If you are running on one of these systems, you can allow
-@value{GDBN} to reload the symbols for automatically relinked modules:
-
-@table @code
-@kindex set symbol-reloading
-@item set symbol-reloading on
-Replace symbol definitions for the corresponding source file when an
-object file with a particular name is seen again.
-
-@item set symbol-reloading off
-Do not replace symbol definitions when encountering object files of the
-same name more than once. This is the default state; if you are not
-running on a system that permits automatic relinking of modules, you
-should leave @code{symbol-reloading} off, since otherwise @value{GDBN}
-may discard symbols when linking large programs, that may contain
-several modules (from different directories or libraries) with the same
-name.
-
-@kindex show symbol-reloading
-@item show symbol-reloading
-Show the current @code{on} or @code{off} setting.
-@end table

@cindex opaque data types
@kindex set opaque-type-resolution
@item set opaque-type-resolution on
Use this function to convert stab register @var{stab_regnr} into @value{GDBN}
regnum. If not defined, no conversion will be done.
-@item SYMBOL_RELOADING_DEFAULT
-@findex SYMBOL_RELOADING_DEFAULT
-The default value of the ``symbol-reloading'' variable. (Never defined in
-current sources.)
-
@item TARGET_CHAR_BIT
@findex TARGET_CHAR_BIT
Number of bits in a char; defaults to 8.
