GDB, the GNU Debugger, can use UST markers as GDB tracepoints (note GDB has its
own concept of tracepoint). This feature is called GDB Static Tracepoints. When
a GDB tracepoint is hit, GDB collects the marker arguments, as well as the
-state of the registers.
-
-In UST, support for GDB integration is not compiled in by default because of
-the cost of saving registers when a marker is hit. To enable it, run the
-@command{./configure} script with the @code{-DCONFIG_UST_GDB_INTEGRATION} flag
-in the @env{CFLAGS} environment variable. For example:
-
-@example
-@verbatim
-
-CFLAGS=-DCONFIG_UST_GDB_INTEGRATION ./configure
-
-@end verbatim
-@end example
-
-As of this writing, GDB Static Tracepoints have been submitted
-(@url{http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-06/msg00592.html}) to the GDB
-mailing list.
-
-GDB integration is currently only supported on x86-32 and x86-64.
+state of the registers. Support for GDB is currently work in progress.
