Description Tom de Vries 2019-09-04 17:34:32 UTC

In gdb 8.3, support was added to "provide styling of source code snippets" using GNU Source Highlight.

We're currently not marking the libsource-highlight.so library as buildrequires, so gdb is build without this support, and we'll want to enable this at some point.

I've found at least one issue with the support on 8.3, reported here ( https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00030.html ), which may or may not be openSUSE-specific.

This issue has been fixed in the 8.3 branch, so it'll come with the 8.3.1 update.

Yes, that should be in tumbleweed soon, or already there.
