remote packets have been defined to support static tracepoints, see
the "New remote packets" section below.
* Better reconstruction of tracepoints after disconnected tracing
GDB will attempt to download the original source form of tracepoint
definitions when starting a trace run, and then will upload these
upon reconnection to the target, resulting in a more accurate
reconstruction of the tracepoints that are in use on the target.
* Observer mode
You can now exercise direct control over the ways that GDB can
affect your program. For instance, you can disallow the setting of
breakpoints, so that the program can run continuously (assuming
non-stop mode). In addition, the "observer" variable is available
to switch all of the different controls; in observer mode, GDB
cannot affect the target's behavior at all, which is useful for
tasks like diagnosing live systems in the field.
* The new convenience variable $_thread holds the number of the
current thread.

a directory.

Set individual permissions for GDB effects on the target. Note that
some of these settings can have undesirable or surprising
consequences, particularly when changed in the middle of a session.
For instance, disabling the writing of memory can prevent
breakpoints from being inserted, cause single-stepping to fail, or
even crash your program, if you disable after breakpoints have been
inserted. However, GDB should not crash.

Control whether to stop the inferior if memory changes caused
by an instruction cannot be recorded.
