Name        : gdb
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 6.8
Release     : 21.fc9
URL         : http://gnu.org/software/gdb/
Summary     : A GNU source-level debugger for C, C++, Java and other languages
Description :
GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++,
Java, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion
and printing their data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix occasional assertion fails on threaded programs.  Fix breakpoints on
constructors/destructors by their bare names.  Improve Fortran debuginfo
support.  Reimplement attach-to-a-stopped-process (the current Fedora kernels do
not support it, though).
