I have included a doc patch but will wait on posting a change to pending.exp until everyone is ok with the interface. A change is not required to make pending.exp work, it would just exercise the new functionality. I have tested the new settings manually.

Ok?


Thanks. A few minor comments about the documentation patch:


+If a specified breakpoint location cannot be found, it may due to the fact

^^^ I think there's a "be" missing at the spot I marked.


Arrr, there be.



+that the location is in a shared library that is yet to be loaded.  In such
+a case, you may want @value{GDBN} to create a special breakpoint (known as
+a pending breakpoint) that


Please put "pending breakpoint", just this once, in @dfn{}, so that it
stands out.  (This is generally a good practice when introducing new
terminology.)


Done.



                     When a breakpoint location is unrecognized,
+you are queried to see if a pending breakpoint should be created.


I'd rephrase this slightly:

   When @value{GDBN} cannot find the breakpoint location, it queries
   you whether a pending breakpoint should be created.


Done.


Otherwise, it can go in when the code patch is approved.



Thanks.
