* ptype/o prints offsets and sizes of members (like pahole)
* tab-completion improved: quoting function names is not generally
necessary anymore, completion offers for breakpoint don't include
data symbol
* enable/disable breakpoints now accept ranges: 'disable 1.3-5'
* new commands:
- set/show cwd: working directory of debuggee
- set/show compile-gcc: program to use for 'compile' command
- starti: start program and stop at first instruction
- TUI single-key commands: 'i' for stepi and 'o' for nexti
* --readnever option disables any reading of debug info (for dumping)
* s390: guarded storage register access for z14
* gcore option -a dumps all memory mapping
* C++ breakpoints: 'b foo' will now set a breakpoint on all functions
and methods named 'foo' no matter the scope. Use -qualified if you
don't want that
* python scripting: new events gdb.new_inferior, gdb.inferior_deleted
and gdb.new_thread; new command rbreak (breakpoint accepting regexps)
* gdbserver can be passed environment parameters to remote debuggee

The GDB 7.8 features are:
* Python Scripting
- You can now access frame registers from Python scripts.
- New attribute 'producer' for gdb.Symtab objects.
* New Python-based convenience functions:
- $_caller_is(name [, number_of_frames])
- $_caller_matches(regexp [, number_of_frames])
- $_any_caller_is(name [, number_of_frames])
- $_any_caller_matches(regexp [, number_of_frames])
* New commands
- queue-signal signal-name-or-number
Queue a signal to be delivered to the thread when it is resumed.
* On resume, GDB now always passes the signal the program had stopped
for to the thread the signal was sent to, even if the user changed
threads before resuming. Previously GDB would often (but not
always) deliver the signal to the thread that happens to be current
at resume time.
* Conversely, the "signal" command now consistently delivers the
requested signal to the current thread. GDB now asks for
confirmation if the program had stopped for a signal and the user
switched threads meanwhile.
* "breakpoint always-inserted" modes "off" and "auto" merged.
Now, when 'breakpoint always-inserted mode' is set to "off", GDB
won't remove breakpoints from the target until all threads stop,
even in non-stop mode. The "auto" mode has been removed, and "off"
is now the default mode.
* MI changes
- The -list-thread-groups command outputs an exit-code field for
inferiors that have exited.

* Remote Protocol:

* GDB/MI:
** A new option "-gdb-set mi-async" replaces "-gdb-set target-async".
* New target configurations:
** PowerPC64 GNU/Linux little-endian
* btrace enhancements:
** The btrace record target now supports the 'record goto' command.
** The btrace record target supports limited reverse execution and
replay.
* ISO C99 variable length automatic arrays support.
* It is no longer required to "set target-async on" in order to use
background execution commands (e.g., "c&", "s&", etc.).
