This has been under discussion on and off for the past month or so on serviceability-dev, and I think a CSR request is required, so this may be a work in progress.
Notes on the patch: - The `list` command previously marked a line in each listing with `=>`. In a bare `list` this is the next line up for execution. Previously when requesting a specific location (e.g. `list 5`) the requested line would be marked. With the patch applied, `list` will only ever mark the next line up for execution. This is consistent with the behavior of GDB and PDB (at least). - `EOF` is printed when the repeat setting is on and a bare `list` command follows a listing containing the last source line. This feature is from PDB; it's a somewhat softer message than the one for an explicit `list` request that's out of range. - I don't speak Chinese or Japanese, so I've omitted localizations for the new messages in those locales. However, I updated the help text in both to include the new commands, with the descriptions left empty for now. ------------- Commit messages: - 8271356: JDB: implement GDB-style command repetition and `list' auto-advance Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5290/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=5290&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8271356 Stats: 336 lines in 5 files changed: 107 ins; 20 del; 209 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5290.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/5290/head:pull/5290 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5290
