*** Changes since GDB 7.11
+* GDB now supports a negative repeat count in the 'x' command to examine
+ memory backward from the given address. For example:
+
+ (gdb) bt
+ #0 Func1 (n=42, p=0x40061c "hogehoge") at main.cpp:4
+ #1 0x400580 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe5c8) at main.cpp:8
+ (gdb) x/-5i 0x0000000000400580
+ 0x40056a <main(int, char**)+8>: mov %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
+ 0x40056d <main(int, char**)+11>: mov %rsi,-0x10(%rbp)
+ 0x400571 <main(int, char**)+15>: mov $0x40061c,%esi
+ 0x400576 <main(int, char**)+20>: mov $0x2a,%edi
+ 0x40057b <main(int, char**)+25>:
+ callq 0x400536 <Func1(int, char const*)>
+
* Fortran: Support structures with fields of dynamic types and
arrays of dynamic types.

@item @var{n}, the repeat count
The repeat count is a decimal integer; the default is 1. It specifies
-how much memory (counting by units @var{u}) to display.
+how much memory (counting by units @var{u}) to display. If a negative
+number is specified, memory is examined backward from @var{addr}.
@c This really is **decimal**; unaffected by 'set radix' as of GDB
@c 4.1.2.
words (@samp{w}) of memory above the stack pointer (here, @samp{$sp};
@pxref{Registers, ,Registers}) in hexadecimal (@samp{x}).
+You can also specify a negative repeat count to examine memory backward
+from the given address. For example, @samp{x/-3uh 0x54320} prints three
+halfwords (@code{h}) at @code{0x54314}, @code{0x54328}, and @code{0x5431c}.
+
Since the letters indicating unit sizes are all distinct from the
letters specifying output formats, you do not have to remember whether
unit size or format comes first; either order works. The output
@code{disassemble} gives an alternative way of inspecting machine
instructions; see @ref{Machine Code,,Source and Machine Code}.
+If a negative repeat count is specified for the formats @samp{s} or @samp{i},
+the command displays null-terminated strings or instructions before the given
+address as many as the absolute value of the given number. For the @samp{i}
+format, we use line number information in the debug info to accurately locate
+instruction boundaries while disassembling backward. If line info is not
+available, the command stops examining memory with an error message.
+
All the defaults for the arguments to @code{x} are designed to make it
easy to continue scanning memory with minimal specifications each time
you use @code{x}. For example, after you have inspected three machine
val.count = 1;
val.raw = 0;
+ if (*p == '-')
+ {
+ val.count = -1;
+ p++;
+ }
if (*p >= '0' && *p <= '9')
- val.count = atoi (p);
