  • Improved start-up performance when debugging programs with a large number of shared libraries.

  • Class statics defined in shared libraries can be accessed properly.

  • The following step after fork is cleaned up: the detached-process does not die when loading the shared libraries, and the followed-process properly gives notifications to HP WDB when HP WDB loads shared libraries.

  • You can set the GDB_SHLIB_PATH environment variable to a colon-separated list of directory paths instead of just one shared library path, allowing more flexibility when you need to debug core files on a system other than the one that produced the core file.

  • The dir command of HP WDB now automatically refreshes the TUI source window if you add a directory that contains currently needed source files that were previously unavailable.
