From 8cbe898dad45fa01dfa4d9803992d5d6ad73e883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Kingdon Date: Sun, 25 Sep 1994 13:21:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * TODO: Remove item about adding general multi-threaded stuff; this is done. Remove item about specifying arbitrary locations of stack frames (this works on some machines). Remove item about debugging functions without a frame pointer (this works on some machines). Remove item about re-writing macros which handle frame chaining and frameless functions. They have been re-written at least once since that item was written. Remove item about gdb catching SIGINT when attached; this is done. Remove item about having list_command not read symbols--why bother? --- gdb/TODO | 25 ------------------------- 1 file changed, 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/TODO b/gdb/TODO index 093b8aeb967..a1ca339b173 100644 --- a/gdb/TODO +++ b/gdb/TODO @@ -443,19 +443,10 @@ while continuing execution of the subprocess.
