January 18th, 2025: GDB 16.1 Released!
The latest version of GDB, version 16.1, is available for download.
This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements:
record/replay support now available on loongarch*-linux*
GDB now supports watchpoints for tagged data pointers.
MTE (Memory Tagging Extension) debugging is now supported on AArch64
baremetal.
New bash script gstack uses GDB to print stack traces of running
processes.
Enhanced breakpoint support
For breakpoints that are created in the 'pending' state, any
'thread' or 'task' keywords are parsed at the time the breakpoint
is created, rather than at the time the breakpoint becomes
non-pending.
Thread-specific breakpoints are only inserted into the program
space in which the thread of interest is running.
Enhanced Intel Processor Trace support
Support for printing of asynchronous events
Support for printing of ptwrite payloads
Changed commands
The "remove-symbol-file -a ADDRESS" command now accepts a full
expression as the ADDRESS.
The "show configuration" command now prints the version of GNU
readline that GDB is using.
The "maintenance print remote-registers" now provides an
"Expedited" column indicating which registers were included in
the last stop reply packet received by GDB.
Various command taking filenames as argument now require file
names to be quoted if the argument contains white spaces or
quote characters.
Python API changes
New module gdb.missing_objfile that facilitates dealing
with missing objfiles when opening a core-file. GDB
commands to query, enable and disable handlers created
using this API have also been added.
New event gdb.tui_enabled.
Added the gdb.Symbol.is_artificial attribute.
New gdb.record.clear function to clear the trace data
of the current recording.
The 'signed' argument to gdb.Architecture.integer_type()
will no longer accept non-bool types.
The gdb.MICommand.installed property can only be set
to True or False.
The 'qualified' argument to gdb.Breakpoint constructor
will no longer accept non-bool types.
Debugger Adapter Protocol changes
The "scopes" request will now return a scope holding
global variables from the stack frame's compilation
unit.
The "scopes" request will return a "returnValue" scope
holding the return value from the latest "stepOut"
command, when appropriate.
The "launch" and "attach" requests were rewritten in
accordance with some clarifications to the spec. Now
they can be sent at any time after the "initialized"
event, but will not take effect (or send a response)
until after the "configurationDone" request has been
sent.
The "variables" request will not return artificial symbols.
Remote Protocol
New remote packet: vFile:stat
New remote packet: x addr,length
Miscellaneous
The Ada 'Object_Size attribute is now supported.
Styling now available for line numbers, GDB commands and header
lines of lists.
It is now possible to turn the warning emitted when specifying a
language that does not match the current frame off.
For ARM targets, the offset of the pc in the jmp_buf
has been fixed to match glibc 2.20 and later. This
should only matter when not using libc probes. This
may cause breakage when using an incompatible libc,
like uclibc or newlib, or an older glibc.
Deprecated or removed
Support for QNX Neutrino has been removed
Support for Nios II targets has been removed
Support for Intel MPX has been removed

release includes.
