From: Roland Pesch Date: Sat, 27 Jul 1991 00:49:54 +0000 (+0000) Subject: (1) Applied some fixes due to comments from Larry Breed (easier ones X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7463aadd5b8c9a0b95d4a936bc1050e664d1704c;p=binutils-gdb.git (1) Applied some fixes due to comments from Larry Breed (easier ones through chapsec 5.2) (2) Eliminated use of @footnote---had my doubts about it anyways, and it's broken in latest texinfo (3) Introduced *some* use of [] for optional arguments, where explanation is not simpler by listing cmd w arg and cmd w/out arg separately. Still not using @deffn. (4) Dropped in GPL-2. NOTE: one of GPL-2 or texinfo is broken; a couple of headings are too long. Need patches to texinfo or revision to GPL-2. --- diff --git a/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo b/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo index 162b01fe7b9..4141fd77319 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo +++ b/gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo @@ -435,7 +435,7 @@ utilities are being converted to use it. @item Configuration Compile-time configuration (to select a particular architecture and -operating system) is much easier.
