*** Changes since GDB 7.5
+* Python scripting
+
+ ** Vectors can be created with gdb.Type.vector.
+
+* New Python-based convenience functions:
+
+ ** $_memeq(buf1, buf2, length)

+ ** $_strlen(str)
+ ** $_regex(str, regex)
+
* The 'cd' command now defaults to using '~' (the home directory) if not
given an argument.

@cindex convenience functions
@value{GDBN} also supplies some @dfn{convenience functions}. These
have a syntax similar to convenience variables. A convenience
however, a convenience function is implemented internally to
@value{GDBN}.
+These functions require @value{GDBN} to be configured with
+@code{Python} support.
+
+@table @code
+
+@item $_memeq(@var{buf1}, @var{buf2}, @var{length})
+@findex $_memeq@r{, convenience function}
+Returns one if the @var{length} bytes at the addresses given by
+@var{buf1} and @var{buf2} are equal.
+Otherwise it returns zero.
+
+@item $_regex(@var{str}, @var{regex})
+@findex $_regex@r{, convenience function}
+Returns one if the string @var{str} matches the regular expression
+@var{regex}. Otherwise it returns zero.
+The syntax of the regular expression is that specified by @code{Python}'s
+regular expression support.
+
+@item $_streq(@var{str1}, @var{str2})
+@findex $_streq@r{, convenience function}
+Returns one if the strings @var{str1} and @var{str2} are equal.
+Otherwise it returns zero.
+
+@item $_strlen(@var{str})
+@findex $_strlen@r{, convenience function}
+Returns the length of string @var{str}.
+
+@end table
+
+@value{GDBN} provides the ability to list and get help on
+convenience functions.
+
@table @code
@item help function
@kindex help function
must not be negative, but the bounds can be.
@end defun
+@defun Type.vector (@var{n1} @r{[}, @var{n2}@r{]})
+Return a new @code{gdb.Type} object which represents a vector of this
+type. If one argument is given, it is the inclusive upper bound of
+the vector; in this case the lower bound is zero. If two arguments are
+given, the first argument is the lower bound of the vector, and the
+second argument is the upper bound of the vector. A vector's length
+must not be negative, but the bounds can be.
+
+The difference between an @code{array} and a @code{vector} is that
+arrays behave like in C: when used in expressions they decay to a pointer
+to the first element whereas vectors are treated as first class values.
+@end defun
+
@defun Type.const ()
Return a new @code{gdb.Type} object which represents a
@code{const}-qualified variant of this type.
