These registers are of interest to look at TLS information. It would make sense to add them now, though that'll imply a change in gdb remote communication protocol. A change in the protocol will break backward compatibility. Some time ago a similar question appeared on gdb mailing list also, where some people wanted to look at these registers through gdb-gdbserver.
Changing this protocol would break too many things. Legacy stays on.... -Amit On Tuesday 12 September 2006 14:26, Florian Delizy wrote: > Hi, > > Just wanted if there were a particular reason why the *s registers (%cs, > %ss, %ds, %es, %fs, %gs) are omitted from the gdb report ?
