GDB 16.1 was tagged today as the newest version of the GNU Debugger for helping debug a variety of programming languages on numerous different CPU architectures and platforms. The GDB 16.1 release adds record/replay support for LoongArch processors on Linux, watchpoints for tagged data pointers, the ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) debugging is now supported on bare metal AArch64 servers, and the new "gstack" bash script uses GDB to print stack traces on running processes.
