Subject: [PATCH] Small fixes to the Python API doc
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:06:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413482796-3090-1-git-send-email-simon.marchi@ericsson.com> (raw)
First:
"Breakpoint.delete" is missing parenthesis.
Second:
Someone on IRC asked, how come there is no disable() method in the
Breakpoint object. It turns out you have to do "bp.enabled = False".
Since every normal person would probably search for "disable" in that page
if their intent is to disable a python breakpoint, I thought it would be
useful if the description contained "disable" so it would be easy to find.
The result might seem a bit silly and redundant, so I am open to
suggestions.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Breakpoints In Python): Add parenthesis after
Breakpoint.delete. Clarify Breakpoint.enabled description so
that it contains "disable".
