6. Tools
6.1. GNU Project debugger (GDB) Copiar o linkLink copiado para a área de transferência!
Suporte para a linguagem de programação C++ no GDB foi aprimorada. Melhorias notáveis incluem:
- Muitas melhorias para análise de expressão.
- Melhor manuseio de nomes de tipos.
- A necessidade para quotação irrelevante foi quase eliminada.
- "next" and other stepping commands work properly even when the inferior throws an exception.
- GDB has a new "catch syscall" command. This can be used to stop the inferior whenever it makes a system call.
O GDB agora possui suporte para caracteres amplos e multi-byte no alvo.
Thread execution now permits debugging threads individually and independently of each other; enabled by new settings "set target-async" and "set non-stop".
6.2. SystemTap Copiar o linkLink copiado para a área de transferência!
Tracepoints are placed in important sections of the kernel, allowing system administrators to analyze the performance of, and debug portions of code. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, a wide range of tracepoints have been added to the kernel (BZ#475710), including tracepoints for networking (BZ#475457), coredump (BZ#517115) and signal (BZ#517121).

Previously, only users with root privileges were able to use SystemTap. This update introduces SystemTap's unprivileged mode, allowing non-root users to still use SystemTap. Detailed information on unprivileged man stap-client

The C++ program probing improvements also allows better probing of user-space programs.
