RHBA-2016:2741 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

New devtoolset-6-dyninst packages are now available as a part of Red Hat Developer Toolset 6.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

Dyninst is an Application Programming Interface (API) that permits the insertion of code into a running program, as well as changing or removing subroutine calls from application programs. Runtime code changes are useful for a variety of uses, including debugging, performance monitoring, and composing applications out of existing packages. The goal of Dyninst is to provide a machine-independent interface to permit the creation of tools and applications that use runtime code patching. The devtoolset-6-dyninst packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset version of Dyninst.

This enhancement update adds the devtoolset-6-dyninst packages to Red Hat Developer Toolset. (BZ#1351770)

For detailed changes, see the Red Hat Developer Toolset 6.0 User Guide linked from the References section.

All users who require devtoolset-6-dyninst are advised to install these new packages.
