Changelog:
2001-10-27 Fred Fish <fnf@redhat.com>
* symfile.c (auto_solib_add): Update comment to note that
this variable is now just used as a boolean to control shlib
autoloading, and clarify when it is used.
* symfile.h (auto_solib_add): Ditto.
* symfile.c (auto_solib_limit): New variable that holds the
autoloading threshold instead of overloading auto_solib_add.
* symfile.h (auto_solib_limit): Ditto.
* irix5-nat.c (_initialize_solib): Change auto-solib-add
variable from var_zinteger to var_boolean and update help.
* osfsolib.c (_initialize_solib): Ditto.
* pa64solib.c (_initialize_pa64_solib): Ditto.
* solib.c (_initialize_solib): Ditto.
* somsolib.c (_initialize_som_solib): Ditto.
* xcoffsolib.c (_initialize_solib): Ditto.
* pa64solib.c (pa64_solib_total_st_size): Update comment to
note that the new auto_solib_limit variable is used instead
of overloading auto_solib_add variable.
(_initialize_pa64_solib): Ditto.
* somsolib.c (som_solib_total_st_size): Ditto.
(_initialize_som_solib): Ditto.
* pa64solib.c (_initialize_pa64_solib): Add new set/show
commands for auto-solib-limit variable.
* somsolib.c (_initialize_som_solib): Ditto
* pa64solib.c (add_to_solist): Check that auto_solib_add is
set and use auto_solib_limit as the threshold size instead
of auto_solib_add.
* somsolib.c (som_solib_add): Ditto, and also change warning
text about size threshold exceeded.
doc/ChangeLog:
2001-10-28 Fred Fish <fnf@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (auto-solib-add): Change docs to match
implementation change.
(auto-solib-limit): Add docs for new variable.
