Bug ID: 16360
Summary: Provide a --shortversion flag
Product: gdb
Version: 7.4
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: marc.khouzam at ericsson dot com
Eclipse uses the GDB version to figure out what features are supported by GDB.
I keep running into parsing problems because the version printout is not
standard between different GDB builds.
I would be safer to have a --shortversion flag that would simply provide the
number part of the version.
For example
> gdb --shortversion
7.6.1
> gdb --shortversion
7.6.50.20131126-cvs
